چکیده

INTRODUCTION Primary posterior capsular plaques can be highly adherent to the posterior capsule leading to possible posterior capsular rupture during attempted removal. Here we describe a novel method for posterior capsular plaque removal using a technique inspired by the experience of retina surgeon in the peeling of membranes from the posterior pole. METHODS Retinal end-grasping forceps were used to peel the plaque from the posterior capsule. RESULTS We have performed this technique on 12 eyes with successful removal of the posterior capsular plaque in all instances without compromise of the posterior capsule in any case. CONCLUSIONS We hope that the anterior segment surgeons will benefit by employing this useful technique during cataract surgeries in the eyes with adherent posterior plaques.

Endoscopic removal of a biliary covered metallic stent with the invagination method.

pandable metallic stents (SEMS) has been increasingly reported [1–3]. Migration is one of the complications with covered SEMS, and a recently developed covered WallFlex stent (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) has flared ends to prevent migration. We experienced difficulty in removal of a partially covered WallFlex stent because of embedment of this flared proximal end. Here we describe a new...

Guide wire-assisted technique to access the bile duct with biopsy forceps for repositioning and removal of metal stents.

The malposition of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placed fully inside the bile duct may be disastrous, and adjusting the position of a malpositioned stent can be difficult or impossible. Fully-covered SEMSs were designed mainly to treat benign biliary strictures and to be removable [1]. The removal process can however be difficult if the stent is placed fully inside the bile duct. Graspin...
