Hernia repair represents the most frequent surgical operation. The objective of the research is determination of anatomical features of the inguinal canal and measuring of the approximate muscle tension as well as justification of the relaxing incision application in the process of the hernia repair in this region. The research is based on the prospective study including 120 patients, who under...

The limbal approach is not new to squint surgery* but, despite its considerable advantages in exposure and subsequent healing, the methods described so far are not easy to perform to obtain the best final results. In particular, the incision commonly described needs very accurate suturing of the conjunctival flap with its two radially placed incisions to achieve a good cosmetic result. The meth...

PURPOSE To compare the safety and efficacy of three methods for correcting pre-existing astigmatism during phacoemulsification. METHODS This prospective, comparative, non-randomized study was conducted from March 2010 to January 2011, and included patients with keratometric astigmatism ≥1.25 D undergoing cataract surgery. Astigmatism was corrected using the following approaches: limbal relaxi...

THE closure and healing of the wound in cataract surgery is a most important factor in the success of the operation, and various suturing techniques have been evolved. The present communication attempts to evaluate the results in 668 cases operated on from January to November, 1961. The same pre-operative preparation, operative technique, and post-operative treatment were used, and the same thr...

One of the drawbacks of all classical incisions for cataract surgery has been the slow consolidation of the scar. According to Dunnington (1956) and to Ashton and Cook (1951), the first step in the healing of limbal wounds is taken by the swelling of the corneal lamellae, whereas the sclera plays a very passive role in the process. The retractability of the tissues then leads to a separation of...

THE surgeon finds himself in difficulty when cataract extraction is planned in a patient who has had a fistulizing operation in the past. Then the cataract can be removed by making the incision in the lower half or by making a corneal incision. In cataract surgery difficulty is felt after operation in examining the condition and position of incision and stitches on the first post-operative dres...
