Treatment of intermittent exotropia in children using a lateral rectus fenestration technique.

Purpose: To report the results of bilateral fenestration of the lateral rectus muscle in cases of intermittent exotropia in pediatric patients.

Methods: Children <12 years of age with basic and pseudo-divergence excess type intermittent exotropia who underwent bilateral lateral rectus muscle fenestration were prospectively enrolled in this study. Success was defined as postoperative alignment within 8 of orthotropia in the primary position at the last follow-up.

Accuracy of Modern and Traditional Intraocular Lens Power Calculation Formulas in Pediatric Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of modern intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas with that of older formulas, such as SRK/T and Hoffer Q, in pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study included 100 eyes of 100 children who underwent routine cataract surgery with primary IOL implantation in a bag. This study used four IOLMaster 700 integrated formulas: SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Haigis, and Barrett Universal II (BUII).

Ileocaecal Intussusception Due to Burkitt Lymphoma: A Surgical and Haematological Emergency.

Intussusception is the protrusion and invagination of a segment of the bowel, referred to as the intussusceptum, into another adjacent segment known as the intussuscipiens. The age range during which intussusception is most observed in children is between three and 18 months. Unlike intussusceptions in children, where the cause is often idiopathic, a specific underlying factor is discernible in a significant majority of cases among adults.

Combined Laparoscopic Open Surgical Approach for De Garengeot's Hernia Containing an Inflamed Appendix: A Case Report.

De Garengeot hernia represents a rare variant of femoral hernia in which the appendix is a part of the hernial contents. It was first described in 1731 by a French surgeon, René de Garengeot. In 1785, Hevin was the first to perform an appendectomy to address acute appendicitis within the context of a femoral hernia.

Management of Renal Cell Carcinoma With Intra-atrial Tumour Thrombus: A Case Report.

Renal cell cancer (RCC) is at times associated with intravascular tumour thrombus (TT), which in rare cases can extend to the right atrium. The management of RCC with intravascular tumour thrombus is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach involving urologists, vascular surgeons, and cardiologists. The pre-operative workup is extensive and includes imaging studies to determine the extent of the tumour thrombus and assess the patient's overall health status.
