With the advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) techniques, a renewed interest has developed in sutureless aortic valve concepts in the last decade. The main feature of sutureless aortic valve implantation is the speed of insertion, thus making implantation easier for the surgeon. As a result, cross clamp times and myocardial ischemia may be reduced. The combined procedures (C...

A 2-year-old boy with Goldenhar syndrome had a limbal dermoid removed and covered with a lamellar corneoscleral patch graft that was attached with fibrin glue and no sutures. The graft healed and attached well. A sutureless technique is beneficial due to decreased scarring and chance of infection.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the differences in bone tunnel apertures between the trans-accessory medial portal (trans-AMP) technique and the transtibial (TT) technique in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The extent of ovalization and the frequency of overlap of the two tunnel apertures were compared. METHODS The simulation of femoral tunnel drilling...

In this video, we present the management of a celiac aneurysm, rare condition, that had also presented as an anatomic variant. We used novel three-dimensional imaging technique for preoperative planning. During open case, sutureless anastomotic device to avoid aortic cross-clamping. eyJraWQiOiI4ZjUxYWNhY2IzYjhiNjNlNzFlYmIzYWFmYTU5NmZmYyIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiJiYWEyNjQ2ODg1ZmU0ZDI0YmZmO...

Sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) was developed as an alternative treatment option to conventional open-heart surgery and transcatheter aortic valve implantation for "gray zone" patients. The need for concurrent mitral valve surgery is generally viewed as a contraindication to sutureless AVR. The purpose of this brief paper is to report our experiences with sutureless valves in patients...

Dear Editor, Cho et al. [1] described the “Sutureless intrascleral pocket technique of transscleral fixation of intraocular lens in previous vitrectomized eyes’’ in April issue. The authors prepare two scleral pockets with a crescent knife 2 mm from the limbus and opposed 180 degree each other without any conjunctival dissection. Following, they enter into the posterior chamber with a 26-gauge ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report for the first time the phenomenon of thrombocytopenia associated with the use of sutureless aortic valve replacements (AVR), and try to find an explanation for its occurrence. METHODS The data was collected retrospectively for all patients who had sutureless AVR (7 patients) and was compared to patients who underwent sutured AVR (22 patients) by t...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of sutureless cataract surgery using a clear corneal incision in canine cataract surgery. Sutured cataract surgery was compared with sutureless cataract surgery in terms of the refractive error, the alteration of intraocular pressure (IOP) over 28 days post-operatively, and neovascularization on the cornea. An average of 1.33 ± 0.58 D astigmatism was induc...

PURPOSE To describe a novel technique for sutureless pterygium surgery using ReSure(®) tissue sealant. METHODS In this retrospective observational case series, we describe a modified procedure for pterygium excision followed by amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) adhered to the corneal and conjunctival defects using ReSure tissue sealant. RESULTS Nine eyes of seven patients (age range: 28-80...
