This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 169 consecutive patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery with LPND between 2016 and 2023.
Objectives: The utility of the updated Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria in diagnosing sarcopenia in older patients with heart failure (HF) remains unclear.
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and prognostic impact of sarcopenia diagnosed by the updated AWGS criteria in older patients with HF.
Design: Ambispective cohort study.
Introduction: Although robot-assisted surgery has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, few reports have examined the impact of individual robotic arm movements on surgical outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between extra arm (EA) usage and experience of surgeons in robot-assisted surgery.
Methods: A total of 176 robot-assisted rectal resections were performed by three surgeons from 2018 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-VEGF therapy on visual acuity in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) over two years.
- The research involved analyzing data from 1,780 eyes treated from 2015 to 2019, documenting changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and treatment methods.
- Results showed a significant improvement in BCVA, with 73.3% of eyes maintaining good vision, highlighting anti-VEGF therapy as the preferred first-line treatment for DME.
