The operation for cataract by extraction of the lens in its capsule is very briefly and imperfectly described and a guarded verdict is pronounced as to its place in ophthalmic surgery. It is acknowledged that this is the ideal operation for cataract, when it can be performed without special danger. Elliot's trephining operation for glaucoma is fully described and the results are admitted to be ...

The goal of this study is a comprehensive examination of openings discovered on two skulls in the collection of skeletal remains from the Loyalty Islands (Melanesia). The skull No. 1524 displayed an evidence of successful trepanation, and the skull No. 7985 revealed openings that were reminiscent of a trepanation, however, we are inclined to believe that in the latter case we are dealing with a...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to describe a technique of donor cornea preparation to ensure good graft-host apposition in incomplete big bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. METHODS Following a partial-thickness trephination, manual dissection and excision of corneal stroma was performed. Anwar's big-bubble technique involving a deep stromal air injection was then initiated. ...

The practice of neurosurgery in Bolivia began thousands of years ago with skull trepanation. This procedure dates from the earliest period of the Tiwanaku culture, a preInca civilization. Neurosurgical development in Bolivia has its origins in the late 19(th) century and can be divided in two stages. At the beginning, before the advent of neurosurgery as a discipline, some general surgeons perf...

A variation of the femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless anterior lamellar keratoplasty technique using a femtosecond laser incision for surgical management of anterior corneal disease is described. Six patients with corneal scars were treated with the laser to create a horizontal lamellar bed interface in the cornea of the donor and recipient eyes, with a manual partial-thickness vertical trep...

This project was designed to study the incidence, onset, duration and potency of tramadol, in donkeys can be evaluated as local anesthetic drug by infiltration maxillary sinus for trephination. In this study, five adult both sexes breed were used induce trephination that given 2% xylazine hydrochloride intravenously followed 5% tramadol with aseptic technique. Parameters evaluation, physical cl...
