Craniosynostosis, premature suture fusion, is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 live births. Craniosynostosis is most commonly an isolated (nonsyndromic) condition with the sagittal suture being the most commonly affected suture. In this review we describe the range of isolated synostoses and show how these can lead to a variety of different morphological and functional abnormalities.

Cranioplasty is a major surgical procedure typically performed in children under 1 year of age, often associated with significant complications. The scientific literature on perioperative management for children with craniosynostosis undergoing cranioplasty is limited. The authors' objective was to retrospectively evaluate the management, complication rates, and outcomes among children undergoing cranioplasty at our institution.

Large iris defects are challenging to close due to shortage of tissue and opposite vector force. By using two pupilloplasty methods, we can close large iris defects with less tractional force or tethering. The trifold technique is a combination of trocar-assisted iris repair and single-pass four-throw (SFT) pupilloplasty for non-appositional large iris defects.

Purpose: Displacement minimization of seeds is crucial during surgery in brachytherapy; however, only a few reports have compared the operability of different seeds. TheraStrand-SL is a seed, in which TheraAGX100 is wrapped in polyglactin 910 thread, and intra-prostatic displacement is expected to be reduced compared with that of Thera-AGX100, owing to the complex shape of TheraStrand-SL. We conducted a prospective study on the operability and treatment outcomes of TheraAGX100 and TheraStrand-SL placement by a single operator.

Methods: Retrospective study of patients who underwent lasso in-the-bag scleral fixation of a subluxated PCIOL using the snare technique with Gore-Tex suture from 2019 to 2021 in a single tertiary medical center. Functional outcome was analyzed by clinical assessment, and anatomical outcome, by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
