They compared our approach with their technique 2 and described some advantages with their technique. They opined that our technique did not take advantage of the intrascleral fixation of the IOL because a 25-gauge vitrectomy was performed before IOL fixation. With their technique, an anterior vitrectomy was performed using 25-gauge trocars for haptic externalization. We recommend performing a ...

Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was introduced almost 40 years ago. 1 In the 1980s and 1990s, three-port PPV with 20-gauge (G) instruments was the norm. In 2002, 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) was introduced.2,3 This system permits threeport PPV using microcannulas, trocars, and 25-G instrumentation without requiring sutures to close the sclerotomies. Subsequently, a similar...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic sinus surgery can result in serious extraocular muscle dysfunction. The medial rectus muscle is more frequently affected than other extraocular muscles. METHODS A transconjunctival subperiosteal medial orbitotomy was successful in retrieving a partially extirpated medial rectus muscle after endoscopic sinus surgery. RESULTS A previous attempt to localize this muscle ...

Participants and Methods: Data from all patients undergoing minimal orbital decompression at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, Los Angeles, Calif, over a period of 41⁄4 years were collected and analyzed. Data included visual acuity, exophthalmometry measurements, intraocular pressure, complete slitlamp examination results, ocular ductions, new-onset primary or downgaze diplopia, and patient satisf...

Experience in the management of 77 isolated orbital floor fractures is presented. The transconjunctival approach was used exclusively to access the orbital floor and lyophilized dura and cartilage were used to reconstruct the floor, when indicated. Follow-up for an average of 36 months showed excellent cosmetic and functional results. A 20% complication rate was noted, which compares favorably ...
