Cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most common ophthalmic surgical procedure worldwide. It is also the most common operation for correction of refractive errors, performed over five times more frequently than corneal refractive procedures. In developed countries, phacoemulsification is the predominant form of cataract surgery, accounting for more than 90% of all op...

Today, with the use of small incisions and foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs), cataract extraction has become a safer and more effective surgery. However, despite the many advances over the years, the current state of cataract surgery still has safety concerns and refractive limitations. Complications such as endophthalmitis, posterior capsule rupture and cystoid macular edema still arise. The ...

The definitions and our understanding of endometriosis have changed over time. Endometriosis was introduced clinically at the beginning of this century, as ovarian “chocolate cysts” and as adenomyosis externa. 3;4 It was defined as endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus, and this morphological definition still is the gold standard. Using this definition, black puckered lesions in the ...

purpose: to evaluate and compare tear secretion and tear film instability following laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) and laser assisted subepithelial keratectomy (lasek). methods: in a randomized clinical trial, 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasik and 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasek to correct myopia. tear secretion and tear film instability were tested preoperatively, 2 and 6 wee...

This paper presents an augmented reality platform for eye laser treatment with region guidance for intelligent surgery. The proposed method aims to assist doctors to plan the surgery, semi-automatically detect and protect sensitive regions within the retina and guide the laser during photocoagulation treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy. In the pre-surgical phase, we mosaic multiple retina fundus...

i ntroduction: liposuction using laser is now one of the most common cosmetic surgery. this new method has minimized the disadvantages of the conventional liposuction including blood loss, skin laxity and long recovery time. benefits of the new liposuction methods which include less trauma, bleeding and skin tightening prove the superiority of these methods over the traditional mechanical metho...

OBJECTIVE To examine the impact on sexual function of treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms in men. DESIGN Multicentre pragmatic randomised controlled trial of standard surgery (transurethral resection of the prostate), non-contact laser therapy, and conservative management (no active intervention). SETTING Three clinical centres in the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS 340 men aged betw...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the results of CO2 laser surgery alone and CO2 laser surgery combined with radiotherapy in patients with T2N0M0 glottic carcinoma. A retrospective analysis was conducted of 35 cases of T2N0M0 glottic carcinoma. Fourteen patients with normal vocal cord mobility were treated with endoscopic CO2 laser surgery alone. The remaining 21 patients were treated wit...

AIM To compare the use of the 810nm diode laser with conventional surgery in the management of soft tissue mucogingival problems associated with orthodontic treatment. METHODS Orthodontic patients requiring different soft tissue surgical procedures were randomly assigned to receive conventional surgery or soft tissue diode laser, (wavelength 810 nm). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Parameters documen...

BACKGROUND CO2 laser surgery is a treatment modality for cutaneous neurofibromas. OBJECTIVE Hypertrophic and atrophic scars can result from treatment with CO2 laser surgery. We present a case of cutaneous neurofibromatosis that developed hypertrophic scars postoperatively. METHODS Continuous wave CO2 laser surgery therapy was applied to the patient. RESULTS Hypertrophic scars developed 2 ...
