Modified sutureless and glue-free method versus conventional sutures for conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder that requires surgical intervention for treatment. Conjunctival autografts are preferred over simple excision due to lower recurrence rates. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the modified sutureless glue-free (MSGF) method with conventional sutures (CS) for conjunctival autograft fixation in primary pterygium surgery.

Incidental and Clinical Significance of Slit Ventricles in Fixed Pressure Valves.

Introduction: Slit ventricle syndrome (SVS) is a recognized delayed complication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in children. It had been linked to the use of low-pressure shunts and considered an argument for the use of programmable valves. In this study, we aim to assess the rate of SVS in children that were shunted using fixed-pressure valves.
