Microbiology and Biofilm Trends of Silicone Lacrimal Implants: Comparing Infected Versus Routinely Removed Stents.

Purpose: To investigate the pathogens and biofilms responsible for clinically significant infection of silicone stents implanted within the lacrimal system.

Methods: Retrospective review of culture results and patient demographics for all silicone lacrimal stents removed early for clinically significant infection and sent to the Bascom Palmer Microbiology Laboratory through the end of year 2010. As a control, routinely removed, clinically noninfected stents from the same institution were prospectively sent for culture over a 6-month period.

Orbital Tumors Excision without Bony Marginotomy under Local and General Anesthesia.

To present our experience of removing middle to deep orbital tumors using a combination of minimally invasive soft tissue approaches, sometimes under local anesthesia. Methods. In this retrospective case series, 30 patients (13 males and 17 females) underwent tumor removal through eyelid crease (17 eyes), conjunctival (nine eyes), lateral canthal (two eyes), and transcaruncular (two eyes) approaches.

On-Q pump for pain control after orbital implant surgery.

Purpose: To introduce an elastomeric continuous infusion pump for pain control after outpatient orbital implant surgery.

Methods: Retrospective, noncomparative consecutive case series of all patients undergoing enucleation, evisceration, or secondary orbital implantation using the On-Q pain system between August 2004 and January 2006. Postoperative pain score, need for narcotics, and adverse events were recorded.

PROSE scleral lens: a novel aid for staged eyelid reconstruction.

A 50-year-old man presented with a papillomatous tarsoconjunctival tumor involving the medial two-thirds of the left upper eyelid. Office biopsy revealed papillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA). Rapid tumor growth with caruncular and forniceal conjunctival involvement continued, despite a trial of weekly interferon-α2b intralesional injection therapy.

Microbiologic trends and biofilm growth on explanted periorbital biomaterials: a 30-year review.

Purpose: To investigate microbiologic trends and role of biofilm on periorbital biomaterials surgically explanted for recalcitrant infection.

Methods: A search of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine microbiology laboratory electronic database was conducted from 1980 to 2010. Culture results were analyzed from submitted periorbital biomaterials explanted for nonresolving infections or exposure.

The modified fasanella-servat procedure: description and quantified analysis.

Purpose: To describe a modified Fasanella-Servat procedure and nomogram for the correction of minimal amounts of ptosis.

Methods: Retrospective review of this modified Fasanella-Servat procedure was performed on 118 eyelids in 86 consecutive patients over 2, 4-year periods by 1 surgeon (S.C.

An anatomically based approach to intralesional corticosteroid injection for eyelid capillary hemangiomas.

Background And Objective: To describe a corticosteroid injection technique for eyelid capillary hemangiomas that minimizes the risk of a central retinal artery occlusion and is based on anatomic, physiologic, and pharmacologic rationales.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series, the medical records of 50 eyes of 50 patients over a 10-year period were reviewed for retinal complications associated with the described injection technique.

Results: Ophthalmoscopy showed no retinal complications in the 50 eyes treated with this injection technique.

Recalcitrant epithelial ingrowth in patients with compromised eyelid function.

Purpose: To report recalcitrant unilateral epithelial ingrowth in two patients with ipsilateral weak eyelid closure.

Methods: Two patients with weak eyelid closure who underwent simultaneous, uncomplicated LASIK developed unilateral epithelial ingrowth.

Results: Eight months postoperatively, one patient presented with right-sided epithelial ingrowth.

The hydrogel lacrimal stent for dacryocystorhinostomy: preliminary experience.

Purpose: To present the results of dacryocystorhinostomy with the use of a newly designed hydrogel lacrimal stent for repair of acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Methods: Noncomparative interventional case series. Twenty-three cases of acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction confirmed by probing and irrigation underwent dacryocystorhinostomy using the hydrogel lacrimal stent.

Comparison of the responsiveness of the SF-36 and WOMAC in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

This study examines the responsiveness of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Eighty-nine patients completed the WOMAC and SF-36 preoperatively and postoperatively. Standardized response means (SRMs) and effect sizes (ES) were used to measure responsiveness.

Responsiveness of the foot function index, AOFAS clinical rating systems, and SF-36 after foot and ankle surgery.

Background: There is uncertainty regarding which outcomes tools should be used to report the results of treatment for patients with foot and ankle disorders. This study compared the responsiveness of the Foot Function Index (FFI), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Clinical Rating Systems, and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) in patients with foot and ankle surgery.

Methods: Twenty-five patients were recruited at a tertiary referral foot and ankle practice.

Evaluation of the validity of the Foot Function Index in measuring outcomes in patients with foot and ankle disorders.

Background: There is uncertainty regarding which outcomes tools should be used to report the results of treatment for patients with foot and ankle disorders. This study evaluates the validity of the Foot Function Index (FFI) by examining its level of correlation to the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36). The SF-36 is an extensively validated outcomes tool that has been used as a benchmark in examining the validity of several orthopaedic outcomes tools.
