PURPOSE To evaluate whether phacoemulsification after trabeculectomy affects postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). SETTING Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS The medical records of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or exfoliation glaucoma who had trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C were reviewed. The primary endpoints were condition A (persistent po...

Surgical repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in patients with right atrial isomerism is associated with a significant risk of recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). We evaluate the effect of sutureless repair to reduce the risk of recurrent PVO. Since November 2007, five patients, including three neonates, with right atrial isomerism underwent sutureless repair ...

Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valve disease in the western world. Over the past few years the number of aortic valve replacement (AVR) interventions has increased with outcomes that have been improved despite increasing age of patients and increasing burden of comorbidities. However, despite such excellent results and its well-established position, conventional AVR has undergone grea...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-Flux implant in nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery. METHODS This clinical interventional case series study included 35 eyes of 35 patients with medically uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma. External trabeculectomy with T-Flux (ETTF) is a technique of nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery, in which after removing deep scleral tissue and un-roofing ...

To evaluate in intraoperative complications of MSICS performed by Junior Residents and to compare the incidences major first six months training versus last training. It is a retrospective type study. From March 2018 February 2019 total 293 manual SICS were conducted Department Ophthalmology. Each patients underwent detailed ophthalmological examination preoperatively under peribulbar anesthesi...

Background/Introduction Benefits of sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) have been established. Most western centres have reported advantages in reduced cardiopulmonary bypass, cross clamp, ventilation, and postoperative recovery time. It has established a role in moderate to high-risk surgical patients requiring an AVR. However, the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in...

AIM To evaluate the outcomes of trabeculectomy with large area mitomycin-C (MMC) application as a first line treatment in advanced glaucoma. METHODS The records of 55 patients with severe visual field defects undergoing trabeculectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified as first-line therapy to either early trabeculectomy (initial trabeculectomy-Group 1) or long term m...
