Acute Corneal Hydrops following Post-keratoplasty Suture Removal in Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
PURPOSE To report acute corneal hydrops following suture removal after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in a case of pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). CASE REPORT A young female underwent PK for corneal scarring in her left eye due to PMD; 8 months later the last sutures were removed. A few days following suture removal, the patient developed acute hydrops in the inferior aspect of the host-...
متن کاملTorsion of monofilament and polyfilament sutures under tension decreases suture strength and increases risk of suture fracture.
BACKGROUND A continuous running suture is the preferential method for abdominal closure. In this technique the suture is secured with an initial knot and successive tissue bites are taken. At each tissue bite, the needle is rotated through the tissue; in doing so, the suture can twist around the knot which acts as an anchor. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of axial torsional forces on sutur...
متن کاملExtraocular Muscle Fixation to the Orbital Wall
The surgical results of severe or complex deviations such as those due to complete third nerve palsy, aberrant innervation of extraocular muscles (EOMs) and Duane syndrome are usually not completely successful. Herein, we describe the surgical technique of EOM fixation to the orbital wall. After a limbal or fornix based conjunctival incision, the related EOM is identified and dissected; the mus...
متن کاملThe global impact of sutures assessed in a finite element model of a macaque cranium.
The biomechanical significance of cranial sutures in primates is an open question because their global impact is unclear, and their material properties are difficult to measure. In this study, eight suture-bone functional units representing eight facial sutures were created in a finite element model of a monkey cranium. All the sutures were assumed to have identical isotropic linear elastic mat...
متن کاملEfficacy of lid everting suture in the management of involutional lower eyelid entropion using 4-0 silk versus 4-0 chromic catgut.
BACKGROUND involutional lower eyelid entropion is a common ophthalmic condition requiring surgical correction. OBJECTIVE to compare the efficacy of lid everting sutures in the management ofinvolutional lower lid entropion using 4-0 silk versus 4-0 chromic catgut. MATERIALS AND METHODS fifty eyes with involutional lower eyelid entropion were enrolled into the study and divided randomly into ...
