Success Rate Comparis on of External Dacryocystorhinostomy with 5-FU Application or Silicone Tube Intubation.

Aims: To compare anatomical and functional success rates in patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction undergoing external dacryocystorhinostomy (EX-DCR) either with adjunctive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or silicone tube intubation.

Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 37 eyes in 32 patients who underwent EX-DCR with adjunctive 5-FU (5-FU group) and 43 eyes in 40 patients who underwent EX-DCR with silicone intubation (controls) between 2018 and 2019 were included.

Results: The mean age of patients in 5-FU and control groups was 59.

A double-blinded randomized clinical trial for pain perception: The efficacy and safety of topical cold saline solution anesthesia in phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of cold saline solution (0.9% NaCl) with topical ophthalmic proparacaine for maintaining topical anesthesia of patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery.

Methods: The prospective, double-blinded, and randomized clinical study was randomly assigned to two groups that underwent phacoemulsification surgery due to cataracts.

Outcomes of lacrimal probing surgery as the first option in the treatment of congenital dacryocystocele.

Purpose: To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of newborn patients who underwent lacrimal probing surgical intervention with or without the marsupialization of intranasal cysts as the primary management for dacryocystocele treatment.

Methods: Data from the medical charts of 350 infants who underwent lacrimal probing surgery due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction were reviewed retrospectively. Ten newborn patients with a naive diagnosis of congenital dacryocystocele were included in the study.

Osseointegrated Implants for Orbito-Facial Prostheses: Common Complications and Solutions.

Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and functional results of osseointegration with magnetic coupling for oculofacial prosthetic rehabilitation after exenteration.

Methods: This retrospective study included 11 consecutive patients who received orbital reconstruction and oculofacial prosthetic rehabilitation between September 2015 and October 2019. Patient demographics, surgical indications, previous treatment procedures, histopathologic features, and reconstructive procedures were recorded.

Clinical and pathological diagnosis and comparison of benign and malignant eyelid tumors.

Purpose: To assess and compare demographic and clinical features of benign and malignant eyelid tumors from 2011 to 2018 in a tertiary medical center.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively from medical records to compare demographic and clinical characteristics and recurrence of benign and malignant eyelid tumors after obtaining institutional review board approval. A total of 428 eyelid tumors with histopathologic diagnoses were studied.
