BACKGROUND The influence of orbital fractures and their repair on the rate of deformities of the lower eyelid is an ongoing source of discussion in the literature. Most of the present studies include isolated blow-out as well as combined orbital fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present a retrospective evaluation of a series of 100 patients after isolated blow-out fracture repair using refer...

BACKGROUND The need for a safer lower-lid blepharoplasty procedure than the classic subciliary approach has long been recognized. In 1996, de la Plaza and de la Cruz first theorized septal suturing via a transconjunctival approach that preserves both muscle and infraorbital fat. This is the first report of a series of patients treated with this technique. The transconjunctival approach can avoi...

background: surgical technique using small-diameter  instruments and single-incision laparoscopy are two new options for less invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lc). in this study, we have compared mini-lc (mlc) with single-incision lc (silc). materials and methods: this study is a randomized clinical trial conducted on the patients diagnosed with  symptomatic cholelithiasis who underwent l...

Recently, the public has developed a growing interest in aesthetic surgery. Middle-aged individuals in Northeastern Asia have have shown particular interest in undergoing blepharoplasty to reduce bulging eyelid fat. However, those who present for aesthetic surgery usually have not considered the possibility of an eyelid tumor, and thus, have not taken time to undergo evaluation for this possibi...

MeThODS In 16 cadavers, the motor innervations of the orbicularis oculi muscle (m.OO) were studied. Multiple anastomoses between the 3 buccal branches were noticed within the medial two-thirds of the lower lid just below the arcus marginalis. They did not anastomose with the zygomatic branch, which tangentially entered the m.OO in front of the lateral canthus. Hence, the safety of m.OO undermin...

this work is a report 0/9 cases ofarcuate incision for correction 0/astigmatism, after penetrating keratoplasty. plannings were based ojj corneal topography, and the first operation was always arcuate incision alone. 11,e secondary plans were based on refractive errors. the mean of preoperative astigmatism was 6d with the range of5 to 9/). after arcuate incision a/the graft-host interface in th...

purpose : to investigate tear film status after phacoemulsification surgery with temporal and supratemporal clear corneal incision in a cohort of patients with senile cataract methods : we enrolled sixty eight eyes of 68 patients with senile cataract requiring phacoemulsification in a prospective, cohort study. all patients undergone basic tear secretion test (btst), tear meniscus height (tmh),...
