PURPOSE To determine the clinical course of recurrent exotropia after a secondary operation for exotropia. METHODS The surgical results in 58 patients who had undergone reoperation for recurrent exotropia (reoperation group) were retrospectively investigated and compared with those of 100 patients who had undergone primary strabismus surgery only (primary operation group) using survival analy...

BACKGROUND The reoperation rate remains high after liver transplantation and the impact of reoperation on graft and recipient outcome is unclear. The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of early reoperation following living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) on graft and recipient survival. METHODS Recipients that underwent LDLT (n = 111) at the University of Tokyo Hospital between Jan...

PURPOSE To describe the incidence of reoperation and the demographic factors that may be associated with reoperation after flexor tendon repair. METHODS Using a New York statewide hospital administrative database covering an 8-year period, we examined unique patient discharges with an index procedure of flexor tendon repair for reoperation (re-repair or tenolysis). We compared the age, sex, r...

PURPOSE Crohn disease is characterized by high rates of recurrence and reoperations. However, few studies have investigated long-term surgical outcomes in Asian populations. We investigated risk factors for reoperation, particularly those associated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) antibody use, and long-term follow-up results. METHODS We reviewed the records of 148 patients (10...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify the rates and reasons, and the risk factors for unplanned reoperation of lumbar spinal surgery during the primary admission in terms of a multicenter and a large patient population study. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Unplanned reoperation is suggested to be a useful quality indicator for spinal surgery. Ho...

The reported incidence of meniscal tears is approximately 61 per 100,000. In instances where preservation of the native meniscus is no longer a feasible option, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) and implants or scaffolds may be considered. The goal of this review was to compare the success and failure rates of two techniques, MAT and meniscal scaffolds, and make an inference which treatm...

IMPORTANCE Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed otolaryngology procedures. The safety of this procedure in adults is based on small case series. To our knowledge, we report the first population-level analysis of the safety of adult tonsillectomies in the United States. OBJECTIVE To characterize the mortality, complication, and reoperation rate in adult tonsillectomy. DESIGN, ...
