BACKGROUND Transscleral tunnel incisions are commonly made to avoid postoperative leakage in small gauge sutureless vitrectomy. We present an unreported intraoperative complication, tunnel incision related arterial hemorrhage from sclerotomy, in 23-gauge (23G) vitrectomy. CASE PRESENTATION Two cases of intraocular arterial hemorrhage from superonasal sclerotomy were observed at the beginning ...

METHODS We included seven eyes in which sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation was performed. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) and refraction changes were analyzed. There was a one year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation is, in our experience, a safe technique that all...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of active silicone oil removal with a 23-gauge (G) transconjunctival sutureless system. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred sixteen eyes of 113 patients who had previous retinal detachment surgery with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection surgery, and underwent silicone oil removal surgery with 23-G transconjonctival sutureless techniqu...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery is constantly evolving and various procedures having their merits and demerits are practiced by ophthalmologists all over the world. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, visual outcome and complications of sutureless manual extracapsular cataract extraction (SMECE) in the management of patients with black cataracts using envelop anterior ...

purpose: to report the visual outcomes and complication of one-stage surgery for management of uveitic cataracts associated with posterior segment disease. methods: in this retrospective interventional case series, 19 eyes of 19 patients with posterior segment involvement due to chronic uveitis underwent sutureless scleral tunnel incision phacoemulsification combined with total vitrectomy using...

INTRODUCTION In manual, tunnel-incision cataract surgery, nucleus extraction has remained a crucial issue and a challenge. It is also the period when serious complications easily occur, especially for beginners and when the nucleus is large and dense. OBJECTIVES To report a modified vectis technique for nucleus extraction in sutureless, manual, small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) to impro...

BACKGROUND The biofragmentable anastomotic ring has been used to this day for various types of anastomosis in the gastrointestinal tract, but it has not yet achieved widespread acceptance among surgeons. The purpose of this retrospective study is to compare surgical outcomes of sutureless with suture method of Roux-and-Y jejunojejunostomy in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS Two groups of...

Various techniques for scleral fixation of IOL in cases of poor capsular support have been described in past. Sutured scleral fixation of IOLs has been attempted for single piece and toric IOLs also. But this predisposes to various suture releated complications. Sutureless fixation of three piece IOLs with or without glue has gained popularity worldwide. However, odd power lenses and high astig...

AIM To report the short and medium term outcome of a prospective series of sutureless manual extracapsular cataract extractions (ECCE) at a high volume surgical centre in Nepal. METHODS Cataract surgery was carried out, on eyes with no co-existing diseases, in 500 consecutive patients who were likely to return for follow up. The technique involved sclerocorneal tunnel, capsulotomy, hydrodisse...
