Prolonged Umbilical Port Insertion Time Increases the Incidence of Umbilical Surgical Site Infection in Laparoscopic Percutaneous Extraperitoneal Closure for Inguinal Hernia in Children.

Umbilical surgical site infection (U-SSI) is the most common complication of laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) for the treatment of inguinal hernia in children. Prolonged operative time is known to increase the risk of SSI in general pediatric surgery; however, the association between prolonged operative time and post-LPEC U-SSI is unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the association between umbilical port insertion time and the incidence of U-SSI.

Correlation of Binocular Perimetry Screening using imo, a Portable Head Mounted Perimeter with 10-2 Standard Automated Perimetry for Early Glaucoma with Central Visual Field Defects.

Prcis: The screening program using imo strongly correlates with 10-2 Standard automated perimetry in detecting central visual field defects in early glaucoma, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for efficient screening and severity quantification.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between abnormalities within the central 10° of the screening program using imo, a portable head-mounted perimeter, and 10-2 standard automated perimetry in early-stage glaucoma with central visual field defects.

Methods: This retrospective study included early glaucoma with (26 eyes) and without (38 eyes) central visual field defects.

Comparative Analysis of 24-2C, 24-2, and 10-2 Visual Field Tests for Detecting Mild-Stage Glaucoma With Central Visual field Defects.

Purpose: This study sought to identify the most effective testing program for detecting visual-field defects in mild-stage glaucoma with central visual-field defects.

Design: A multicenter, retrospective diagnostic testing evaluation.

Participants: The study involved 93 eyes (83 patients) with mild-stage glaucoma (median mean deviation [interquartile range]: -1.
