Background: Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the recommended treatment for T1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Compared with suture PN, sutureless PN reduces the difficulty and time of operation, but the safety and feasibility have been controversial. This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the function and perioperative outcomes of suture and sutureless PN for T1 RCC.
Methods: Systematic literature review was performed up to April 2021 using multiple databases to identify eligible comparative studies. According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) criteria, identification and selection of the studies were conducted. Meta-analysis was performed for studies comparing suture to sutureless PN for both T1a and T1b RCC. In addition, subgroup analysis was performed on operation time, warm ischemia time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative complications. Sensitivity analysis was used in analysis with high heterogeneity (operation time and estimated blood loss).
Results: Eight retrospective studies were included with a total of 1,156 patients; of the 1,156 patients, 499 received sutureless PN and 707 received suture PN. The results showed that sutureless PN had shorter operative time (I = 0%, < 0.001), warm ischemia time (I = 97.5%, < 0.001), and lower clamping rate (I = 85.8%, = 0.003), but estimated blood loss (I = 76.6%, = 0.064) had no difference. In the comparison of perioperative outcomes, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications (I = 0%, = 0.999), positive surgical margins (I = 0%, = 0.356), postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rat (eGFR) (I = 0%, = 0.656), and tumor recurrence (I = 0%, = 0.531).
Conclusions: In T1a RCC with low RENAL score, sutureless PN is a feasible choice, whereas it should not be overestimated in T1b RCC.

Recent advances and current challenges in suture and sutureless scleral fixation techniques for intraocular lens: a comprehensive review.
Eye Vis (Lond)

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China.
Over the past two decades, both suture and sutureless techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses have seen significant advancement, driven by improvements in methodologies and instrumentation. Despite numerous reports demonstrating the effectiveness, safety, and superiority of these techniques, each approach carries with it its own drawbacks, including an elevated risk of certain postoperative complications. This article delves into various surgical techniques for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses, discussing their procedural nuances, benefits, drawbacks, postoperative complications, and outcomes.

Scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) is a widely used technique for IOL implantation in patients where capsular support is insufficient. Most surgeons have shifted away from sutured to sutureless SFIOL techniques where haptics of a multifocal IOL are inserted in scleral tunnels/flaps. Large-scale publications have shown wide variation in the refractive status of eyes post-SFIOL even in the best of the hands.

Introduction Sutureless enterostomy is used as an effective technique for constructing an enterostomy in very low and extremely low birth weight infants in Japan. Sutureless enterostomy is a separate type of enterostomy procedure for low birth weight infants. We adapted this technique and developed sutureless loop enterostomy (SLE), an approach without a skin bridge in which the intestinal wall is not sutured to the abdominal wall.

Purpose Of Review: To describe recent evidence regarding surgical techniques for secondary scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs), with attention to information most relevant to the surgical practice of vitreoretinal surgeons.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in patients treated with scleral fixation of IOLs using Gore-Tex suture and flanged intrascleral haptic fixation (ISHF). ISHF can be achieved using trocar-cannulas or double needle-based techniques.
Tube Insertion of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Using a Micro-incision Scleral Tunnel Technique.

We report three cases demonstrating the efficacy and versatility of the micro-incision scleral tunnel (MIST) technique, a novel method for Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) tube insertion. MIST is characterized by its small incision, sutureless approach, anterior-to-posterior tunnel creation, and allograft-free design. The technique involves creating a scleral tunnel using a 1-mm crescent knife (Bleb Knife II), allowing for secure tube placement into the anterior chamber, ciliary sulcus, or vitreous cavity.
