Management of adult focal nasolacrimal duct stenosis: long-term outcomes of 3D CT-DCG-assisted and endoscopically guided coronary catheter balloon dacryoplasty.
Sci Rep
September 2024
Govindram Seksaria Institute of Dacryology, L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Article Synopsis
- A clinical study assessed the effectiveness of 3D CT-DCG-assisted and endoscopically guided coronary catheter balloon dacryoplasty (CC-BDCP) for adults with focal stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD), involving 25 patients in total.
- Out of the 25 patients, 21 underwent the CC-BDCP procedure, achieving a significant improvement in epiphora intensity and functional outcomes postoperatively, with overall scores significantly decreased from preoperative values.
- The overall success rate of the procedure was 77%, with 90% success in patients deemed "easy" to treat and 64% in those classified as "difficult," indicating varying outcomes based on procedural difficulty.
Percutaneous Endoscopy and Image-guided Retrieval of Dropped Gallstones - A Case Series.

Department of Radiology, Section of Interventional Radiology.
Background: Recurrent abscesses can happen due to dropped gallstones (DGs) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Recognition and appropriate percutaneous endoscopy and image-guided treatment options can decrease morbidity associated with this condition.
Materials And Methods: We report a minimally invasive endoscopy and image-guided technique for retrieval of dropped gallstones in a series of 6 patients (M/F=3/3; median age: 75.

Article Synopsis
- After pancreatic surgery, some patients can get complications like leaks and fluid build-up, and there are different ways to treat these problems.
- Researchers looked at 531 patients to see how effective various treatments were over 6 years.
- They found that many patients needed help from specialists and that a special endoscopic technique using stents was used for about a third of those who required further treatment.
Transnasal endoscopy-guided percutaneous access to the sphenopalatine ganglion for neurostimulation in the treatment of primary headache: operative technique and feasibility.

Objectives: Cluster headache is considered a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia and may present with characteristic symptoms of sympathetic/parasympathetic activation on the affected side of the face, such as nasal discharge, tearing, and conjunctival injection. Invasive therapies targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion have been performed in these headache syndromes and can have a medication-sparing effect, especially in refractory, difficult-to-manage cases. The gate control theory of pain suggests that electric pulses delivered to nerve tissues can modulate neuronal activity, thus aiding in management of nociceptive or neuropathic pain, and studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of sphenopalatine ganglion neurostimulation.
