Reporting outcomes of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.

Purpose Of Review: This review presents guidelines for designing studies and reporting efficacy and safety outcomes in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) research.

Recent Findings: Adherence to reporting guidelines in MIGS studies is crucial for providers and patients to appraise surgical options. Recent guidelines have outlined appropriate methodology, efficacy outcomes, and safety reporting, so that study results are presented in an interpretable and uniform manner.

Bilateral Thermal Keratopathy Due to Plasma Skin Regeneration.

A 40-year-old woman underwent periocular plasma skin regeneration, a cosmetic treatment for periorbital rejuvenation. She subsequently developed bilateral thermal keratitis, manifesting as blurred vision, irritation, and redness, with a vision decrease to 20/60 and 20/50 in her OD and OS, respectively. Examination demonstrated bilateral large, irregular corneal epithelial defects and edema, necessitating treatment with amniotic membrane grafts, bandage contact lenses, and hypertonic saline.

The "Pocket" Technique: A Novel Surgical Technique for Repair of Glaucoma Drainage Device Tube Exposure.

Prcis: Presented is a novel surgical technique, termed the "pocket" technique, of scleral patch graft placement into a subconjuntival pocket to cover exposed glaucoma tube shunts, which is particularly useful in cases of scarred and thinned conjunctiva and Tenons.

Abstract: Exposure of glaucoma tube shunts is an uncommon postoperative complication which poses a significant risk to the patient and may be difficult to repair. In this case series, the authors present 2 cases using a novel surgical technique, the "pocket" technique, to place a scleral patch graft to address tube exposure.

Difficulties of nasocutaneous fistula repair, following lacrimal outflow system malignancy resection.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of nasocutaneous fistula (NCF) development, following en bloc resection of lacrimal outflow system malignancies (LOSM), and describe the methods of surgical repair.

Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent resection of LOSM with reconstruction and post-treatment protocol at the University of Miami between 1997 and 2021.

Results: Of the 23 included patients, 10 (43%) developed postoperative NCF.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Female-to-Male Transgender Patients on Exogenous Testosterone Therapy.

Purpose: To present four female-to-male (FTM) transgender patients on testosterone therapy diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

Methods: The authors report 4 consecutive FTM transgender patients on exogenous testosterone diagnosed with IIH at a single institution.

Results: Patient 1 presented with progressive blurred vision and a central scotoma 10 weeks after starting testosterone cypionate injections for hormonal gender transition.
