Background: To study the efficacy of inside-out technique in completely eradicating the cholesteatoma from middle ear and mastoid, preservation of hearing & and quality of life post mastoidectomy with regards to recurrent discharge, wax, granulations.
Material And Methods: Non-randomized, prospective, observational study performed at the Department of ENT in our hospital. In the study we included 100 patients presenting with chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma, they underwent inside out mastoidectomy and were followed up till the end of the study to evaluate the efficacy of inside out mastoidectomy in eradicating the disease from the middle ear cleft.
Purpose: To evaluate the intraoperative and early postoperative outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in patients with previous glaucoma filtering surgeries.
Methods: A retrospective review of all DSAEK surgeries performed at one center comparing complications of DSAEK in eyes with previous glaucoma filtering procedures (study eyes) with a time-matched group of all other DSAEK cases (control eyes).
Results: There were 28 study eyes, 19 with previous trabeculectomies and 9 with previous glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) and 431 control eyes.
Purpose: To evaluate complications and clinical outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with intraocular lens (IOL) exchange compared with DSAEK alone.
Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.
Methods: DSAEK was performed in 19 eyes in which the anterior chamber IOL was exchanged for a posterior chamber IOL (study group) and in 188 eyes in which the posterior chamber IOL was left in place (comparison group).
Purpose: To evaluate and quantify the degree and pattern of donor endothelial cell damage, which occurs with mechanical trephination of donor corneal tissue.
Method: Twenty donor corneal-scleral tissues were used for these paired experiments. The tissues were randomized for trephination with 10 tissues trephinated by an 8.
Purpose: To report the immediate postoperative complications and the 6- and 12-month clinical results in a large series of cases undergoing the new triple-procedure Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and concurrent cataract surgery.
Design: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series.
Participants: Three hundred fifteen eyes of 233 patients with Fuchs' corneal dystrophy were evaluated for the complications of dislocation and iatrogenic primary graft failure (IPGF).
