Proliferative fasciitis (PF) is a benign fibroblastic reaction with histological and clinical characteristics that overlap with those of malignant soft tissue tumors; thus, it is referred to as a pseudosarcomatous reaction.

This article describes our surgical technique for subperiosteal midface elevation in patients with paralytic lower eyelid malposition or cicatricial inferior eyelid retraction. Nineteen patients with paralytic lower eyelid malposition and 15 patients with cicatricial inferior eyelid retraction underwent a subperiosteal midface lift (n = 34). The procedure was performed under local anesthesia through three nonvisible incisions.

Purpose: To describe the authors' modified combined surgical technique for external dacryocystorhinostomy and transnasal canthopexy.
Methods: A retrospective medical record review was performed including patients with late posttraumatic telecanthus and nasolacrimal duct obstruction treated by their combined dacryocystorhinostomy-transnasal canthopexy technique. In this technique, the bony window is extended superiorly and posteriorly further than in standard dacryocystorhinostomy, to allow pulling the canthus though the window, but at the same time not disturbing the suture of the dacryocystorhinostomy anastomosis.
Purpose: To evaluate and compare toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and spherical IOL implantation with peripheral corneal relaxing incisions to manage astigmatism during phacoemulsification.
Setting: Ophthalmology Service, Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Madrid, Spain.
Design: Prospective randomized comparative case series.
