Purpose: To evaluate the influence of incision size on dry eye symptoms in the small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedure.
Methods: Ninety-four eyes of 47 patients with myopia and/or myopic astigmatism who had undergone the SMILE procedure were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the incision size (2, 3, and 4 mm) applied during the SMILE procedure.
Objective: To investigate the effect of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) treatment after 12 weeks on urodynamic and clinical findings in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with neurogenic detrusor overactivity.
Methods: A total of 47 patients with PD with neurogenic detrusor overactivity were enrolled in the study. Urodynamic studies before and after 12-week PTNS treatment were performed.
Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the sustained therapeutic efficacy and treatment intervals for PTNS in NOAB with MS, offering periodic additional treatments during 1 year in patients who completed an initial course of 12 consecutive weekly sessions.
Methods: A total of 34 patients enrolled to the PTNS treatment and 21 patients completed the 1 year PTNS treatment with a tapering protocol of 6, 9, and 12 months of therapy, respectively. After 12 weeks of therapy, PTNS was applied at 14 day intervals for 3 months, 21 day intervals for 3 months, and 28 day intervals for 3 months.
Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the course of dry eye syndrome after phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: One hundred and ninety-two eyes of 96 patients (30 males, 66 females) with chronic dry eye syndrome and cataract, who had undergone phacoemulsification surgery were enrolled in this study.
Results: Their mean age was 68.
