BACKGROUND Guarding pain after rat plantar incision is similar to pain at rest in postoperative patients. Spontaneous activity (SA) in nociceptive pathways quite likely transmits such ongoing pain. This study examined the extent of tissue injury by incision on pain behaviors and nociceptor SA. METHODS Rat pain behaviors were measured after a sham procedure, skin incision, or skin plus deep ti...

purpose : to investigate tear film status after phacoemulsification surgery with temporal and supratemporal clear corneal incision in a cohort of patients with senile cataract methods : we enrolled sixty eight eyes of 68 patients with senile cataract requiring phacoemulsification in a prospective, cohort study. all patients undergone basic tear secretion test (btst), tear meniscus height (tmh),...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy and surgical effects of the anterior low small incision and the traditional incision in the treatments of thyroid adenomas. METHODS Eighty cases of thyroid adenoma patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. Forty patients in the control group received the traditional incision, whereas the experimental group receive...

PURPOSE Traditional implantation of the AMS Sphincter 800 Urinary Control System (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, Minnesota) requires 2 incisions. The cuff is placed via a perineal incision, and the pressure regulating balloon and pump are placed through a separate suprapubic incision. We describe a novel implantation of all the artificial urinary sphincter components using a single upper...

purpose : to introduce a small incision technique of fascia lata (fl) harvesting for frontalis suspension blepharoptosis procedure. methods : a skin incision was made in a line between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the anterior superior iliac crest, starting 4- 5 cm above the knee and extending upward 2- 2.5 cm . approximately 8 cm superior to the first incision, a second skin incision w...

AIM To compare postoperative keratometric corneal refractive changes after phacoemulsification surgery between pre-incision and single stepped clear corneal incision techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective clinical study included 40 eyes of 40 patients who underwent clear corneal cataract surgery. Twenty eyes were operated using pre-incision technique (Group A), and 20 eyes using si...
