Aims And Background: Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) is a vision-threatening complication of intraocular surgeries with a higher prevalence in postglaucoma filtering surgeries. Through these case series of trabeculectomy complicated with DSCH, we aim to emphasize that correction of hypotony (inciting factor) is fundamental for complete resolution and prevention of recurrence.

Case Description: All three glaucoma patients underwent trabeculectomy surgery followed by DSCH on postoperative day 1.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of subconjunctival dexamethasone compared to normal saline on conjunctival autograft harvesting in patients undergoing pterygium surgery.

Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival graft (CAG) using releasable suture were included in this prospective interventional study. The patients were randomized into two groups of 26 patients each.

Objectives: To determine whether subconjunctival Mitomycin-C (MMC) injections are as safe and effective as sponge-soaked MMC in phaco-trabeculectomy.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, interventional study was conducted on consecutive patients with visually significant cataract and an uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma. One hundred thirty-nine patients were recruited but 15 were ineligible for analysis.

Background: Trabeculectomy is the gold standard filtration surgery for diverting aqueous from anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space. More than the surgery, postoperative follow-ups and management of the blebs play a critical role in the long-term success. This video is aimed at showing the real-world management of blebs postoperatively.

Nerve guide conduit is a promising treatment for long gap peripheral nerve injuries, yet its efficacy is limited. Drug-releasable scaffolds may provide reliable platforms to build a regenerative microenvironment for nerve recovery. In this study, an elastic hydrogel conduit encapsulating with prodrug nanoassemblies is fabricated by a continuous 3D printing technique for promoting nerve regeneration.
