BACKGROUND To report the learning curve of transition from 20-gauge (20 G) conventional vitrectomy to a 20 G sutureless vitrectomy technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective descriptive case study of 32 eyes from 32 consecutive patients who underwent sutureless 20 G pars plana vitrectomy. A 20 G microvitreoretinal blade was introduced, beveled transconjunctivally, slowly, parall...

PURPOSE To report the results of sutureless scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) by using our developed simple technique. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 48 eyes of 47 patients who underwent sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation by using our modified technique. A 25-gauge microvitreoretinal knife was used to perform sclerotomies and create l...

purpose : to assess the efficacy and safety of sutureless punch trabeculectomy as substitute for conventional scleral flap trabeculectomy. methods : in a prospective, randomized study, 44 eyes of 42 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (poag) who were candidate of trabeculectomy were included and randomly assigned into two groups sutureless punch trabeculectomy or conventional scleral flap...

BACKGROUND Advanced vessel sealing devices provide an alternative to conventional ligation techniques for thyroidectomy. To date, most studies have been inadequately powered to explore differences in the infrequent post-operative complications following thyroidectomy. This study is designed to compare the outcomes of sutureless thyroidectomy and conventional thyroidectomy for recurrent laryngea...

We describe a technique that uses a capsular hook to obtain sutureless fibrin glue-assisted transscleral fixation of the capsular bag. The hook passes through a sclerotomy created under a scleral flap and engages the capsulorhexis rim, providing scleral fixation intraoperatively and postoperatively. A standard capsular tension ring expands the capsular fornix. The haptic of the hook is tucked i...

Abstract Background Fixation of receiver-stimulator (RS) in cochlear implantation is an important step surgery, while the technique used still debatable. Aim study The aim our to evaluate applicability modified recess/tunnel (R/T) fixation technique. Materials and methods De novo cases between august 2018 December 2020 were included. A bony recess was drilled deep full thickness RS. tunnel fash...

BACKGROUND With high backlog of cataract blindness in the developing countries sutureless high volume cataract surgery is preferred surgical technique. OBJECTIVE To report the intraoperative complications of high volume sutureless cataract surgery at secondary level eye care centre of Nepal. METHOD This prospective study consisting 1087 eyes that underwent manual small incision cataract sur...

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery techniques have improved a lot over the years from couching to the latest micro-incision cataract surgery. OBJECTIVES To compare the temporal sclero-corneal and clear corneal tunnel incisions in patients undergoing manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) with respect to the surgically-induced astigmatism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study included 60 ...
