Introduction: Rectus sheath hematomas can result from shearing of rectus muscle fibers or injury to the inferior epigastric vessels, which is the most common vascular injury to occur at the time of laparoscopic surgery. Case Description: We describe a case of a rectus sheath hematoma that was diagnosed 5 days after operative laparoscopy. We review the clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria,...

Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, patients using oral anticoagulants for mechanical valve replacement and/or another clinical-pathological condition might have faced various clinical scenarios. Rectus sheath hematoma is one of acute abdominal pain syndromes. This study presented a patient with developed anticoagulation-induced rectus after mitral replacement.

In retinal detachment surgery, Chawla (I97I) had excellent results using a 7-mm. encircling silastic band, cauterization of the edges of the tear by cryocautery, and evacuation of the subretinal fluid (Schepens, Okamura, and Brockhurst, I957). He felt that the technique was simpler than scleral dissection and safer than the supramid encircling suture. The present study has the following aims: (...

BACKGROUND Whereas the alterations of diverse tissues in cellular and molecular levels have been investigated during leg lengthening via microscopy and biochemical studies, little is known about the response of deep fascia. This study aims to investigate the changes of the extracellular matrix in deep fascia in response to leg lengthening. METHODS Animal model of leg lengthening was establish...

OBJECTIVE To describe the effect of graded unilateral vs bilateral lateral rectus resection in the treatment of residual or recurrent esotropia after maximal medial rectus muscle recession. METHODS Retrospective case series of children with residual or recurrent esotropia. All children underwent initial eye muscle surgery for angles of 40 to 60 prism diopters (medial rectus recession of 5.5-6...

Stiff-knee gait is characterized by diminished and delayed knee flexion during swing. Rectus femoris transfer surgery, a common treatment for stiff-knee gait, is often recommended when a patient exhibits prolonged activity of the rectus femoris muscle during swing. Treatment outcomes are inconsistent, in part, due to limited understanding of the biomechanical factors contributing to stiff-knee ...

purpose: to describe three cases of exotropic mobius syndrome and to report outcomes of the surgical intervention. case reports: three patients including two boys and one girl were referred to our strabismus clinic. all had masked faces and non-progressive congenital bilateral facial palsy and dry eye. other abnormalities included large angle exotropia and bilateral horizontal gaze palsy. surgi...
