Purpose To determine the feasibility of a 49-channel suprachoroidal-transretinal stimulation (STS) retinal prosthesis that was implanted for 1 year. Methods Three patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and with less than or equal to hand motion (HM) vision were studied. A 49-channel STS system was implanted in a scleral pocket, and the stability of the prosthesis, adverse events, an...

BACKGROUND The emerging submucosal tunneling and endoscopic resection (STER) technique provides definitive histological diagnosis as well as a therapeutic method for the gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). We aim to present our experience and discuss key technical issues of STER. METHODS 45 patients with gastric SMTs arising from MP received STER. First, a mucosal incision was made 3 cm proxima...

1 reported the first case of a dislocation of the trapezoid. Since that time there have been Ͻ25 reported cases in the literature. 2-24 Most dislocations are accompanied by a fracture of the adjacent carpals or metacarpals and usually are dorsal in direction. Palmar dislocation of the trape-zoid is distinctly more unusual, with Ͻ10 reported cases. 3, 4,6,22,24 A volar disloca-tion with accompan...

Several techniques have been employed for repositioning dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs). Herein, we describe a simplified and modified technique in which scleral fixation is performed together with temporary externalization of IOL haptics through a small, superior clear corneal incision. The sutures are tied to the externalized haptics; the haptics are then repositioned into the anterior c...

Purpose: Failed carpal tunnel surgery poses a challenge for the attending surgeon(s). Numerous revision techniques have been reported in literature, with evidence of long-term improvement. However, studies exploring how early could symptomatic improvement be detected are scarce. The objective this study was to identify speed symptom(s) recovery after repeated decompression technique using an op...

A elderly male presented with painful loss of vision in the left eye for 20 days expulsion intra-ocular content following a blunt trauma. The best corrected visual acuity was counting fingers close to face (CF-CF). Slit lamp examination revealed ciliary tissue prolapse gaping incision scar along posterior synechia, iris pigments, vitreous Anterior chamber, cells and flare. Patients aphakic had ...

BACKGROUND To report a case of impending extrusion of Ex-PRESS shunt treated by shunt-position adjustment. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old Asian woman presented with impending extrusion and malposition of Ex-PRESS shunt in her left eye. The bleb of the left eye was shallow and diffuse. In the past, the patient was treated by Ex-PRESS shunt implantation under the scleral flap in both eyes. The...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, karpal tünel cerrahisinde 1-2 cm uzunluğunda tek mini insizyon ile 2-3 sınırlı insizyonu fonksiyonel sonuç ve komplikasyonlar açısından karşılaştırılarak hangi yöntemin diğerine üstün olduğunu belirlemekti. Mart 2017 Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında cerrahisi geçiren toplam 93 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Mini açık kesi grubundaki 51 hastanın 60 eli cerrahi 42 değerlendirildi...

The standard long incision technique for carpal tunnel release causes inevitable damage to skin sensation, the inter-thenar plexus and especially the distal branches of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCM), and may cause long-term disabling pain and scar tenderness. There are many variations in the distal branches of the median nerve at the wrist. Anatomic studies of this regio...
