In extra-capsular extraction of cataract in which the central portion of the anterior capsule is removed, or in injury of the lens, or in discission operations in which the anterior capsule is torn and the central portion of the lens substance is penetrated and becomes absorbed, a greater part of the capsule sac remains intact. According to Wessely (1910), when the central part of the anterior ...

In the present study, the lenses and ciliary bodies of 20 ostrich eyes were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The histological slides were studied after staining by hematoxylin and eosin, Verhoeff, Van Gieson, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Posterior surface of lens was more convex than its anterior surface. The average lens diameter and thickness were respectively measured as 1.43 ...

J Babol Univ Med Sci; 18(12); Dec 2016; PP: 7-12 Received: Jun 2 2016, Revised: Jul 27 2016, Accepted: Sep 27 2016. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a standard method for treatment of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in adults. However, there is not enough information available regarding the advantages and disadvantages of its conventional techniques...

Abstract Objectives The aim of this literature review was to establish consensus with respect the anatomic features articular branches innervating hip joint and distribution sensory receptors within its capsule. Methods Five electronic databases were queried, search encompassing articles published between January 1945 June 2019. Twenty-one original providing a detailed description around capsul...

Secondary visual loss occurs in millions of patients due to a wound-healing response, known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), following cataract surgery. An intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted into residual lens tissue, known as the capsular bag, following cataract removal. Standard IOLs allow the anterior and posterior capsules to become physically connected. This places pressure on th...

PURPOSE To investigate the relative merit of retroillumination and of reflected light slit-lamp-derived photographs in the assessment of the opacification of the posterior lens capsule. METHODS Retroillumination and slit-lamp-derived reflected-light photographs were taken on 23 consecutive eyes with posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in uncomplicated pseudophakia. Subjective grading was pe...

Less invasive methods of performing total hip arthroplasty have been considered controversial after increased complication rates and component malpositioning were reported. A new method of performing total hip arthroplasty through an incision in the superior capsule, posterior to the abductors and anterior to the posterior capsule, was developed with the aim of producing a technique that mainta...

We present a simple algorithm for management of post-traumatic posterior heel defect. We covered these with various flaps depending upon the defect size, its exact location, associated injuries, extent of zone of trauma, and complexity of the defect. The aim was to select the most suitable method for soft tissue coverage for posterior heel reconstruction.

We aim to present a case of retinal detachment secondary to capsular tension ring dislocation following cataract surgery. A 45-year-old man who underwent cataract surgery 2 years previously presented with decreased vision in his left eye. The patient's posterior capsule was intact with a well-located posterior chamber intraocular lens. Fundus examination revealed retinal detachment with retinal...
