PURPOSE To report short-term surgical outcomes of single-stage simultaneous rescue and sutureless intrascleral fixation of dislocated intraocular lens (IOLs). METHODS Sixteen eyes of 16 patients who underwent simultaneous rescue and intrascleral fixation of dislocated 3-piece IOLs were retrospectively evaluated. Partial thickness limbal-based scleral flaps (2.0 × 2.0 mm) were created, and a 2...

BACKGROUND The sutureless pars plana vitrectomy (ppv) using a 25-gauge instrumentation is a minimally invasive technique which is mainly performed for procedures that do not require extensive vitreous dissection. In a consecutive case series with retrospective collection of data, the advantages and the risks of this technique are discussed in comparison with the conventional 20-gauge ppv for pa...

Sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) was developed as an alternative treatment option to conventional open-heart surgery and transcatheter aortic valve implantation for "gray zone" patients. The need for concurrent mitral valve surgery is generally viewed as a contraindication to sutureless AVR. The purpose of this brief paper is to report our experiences with sutureless valves in patients...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report for the first time the phenomenon of thrombocytopenia associated with the use of sutureless aortic valve replacements (AVR), and try to find an explanation for its occurrence. METHODS The data was collected retrospectively for all patients who had sutureless AVR (7 patients) and was compared to patients who underwent sutured AVR (22 patients) by t...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of sutureless cataract surgery using a clear corneal incision in canine cataract surgery. Sutured cataract surgery was compared with sutureless cataract surgery in terms of the refractive error, the alteration of intraocular pressure (IOP) over 28 days post-operatively, and neovascularization on the cornea. An average of 1.33 ± 0.58 D astigmatism was induc...

SUMMARY Iris-claw intraocular lens (ICIOL) for aphakia needs a large 5.4 mm corneal incision for its implantation. The technique needs corneal suture, associated with some postoperative astigmatism. Foldable ICIOL is used in phakic patients undergoing refractive surgery and has the advantage of a sutureless small corneal incision. We report a case of a high myopic patient with dislocated intrao...
