Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting wound dehiscence due to blunt trauma following penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and the clinical outcomes.
Methods: The medical records of patients who experienced blunt traumatic wound dehiscence after PK between 1995 and 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The incidence and etiology of the trauma, the time interval between PK and globe rupture, final graft clarity, best-corrected visual acuity, complications, secondary surgeries, and factors potentially affecting wound dehiscence size were recorded.
Objectives: In this study, we compared the surgical outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty using domestic and imported donor corneas.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 200 eyes and 200 consecutive patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty by using domestic and imported donor corneas between January 2013 and December 2013. The donor characteristics, preoperative clinical features, and clinical outcomes at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were assessed.
Purpose: To study prospectively the effect of extirpating the proprioceptive impulse at the myotendinous junction combined with recession of the medial rectus muscles in patients with convergence excess esotropia.
Methods: A total of 21 patients with different sizes of AC/A ratios (high, 8; normal, 12; low, 1) underwent a surgical procedure consisting of combining resection of 2.5 mm of the insertional end of the medial rectus muscles with recession from the original insertion, based on the patient's angle of esotropia at 1/3 m while wearing full cycloplegic refraction, with an additional recession of 1 mm for each rectus muscle based on current surgical tables.
