Recurrences of herpetic infections following intraocular surgeries pose a threat to optimal surgical outcomes. The high prevalence of herpetic diseases require ophthalmologists to be familiar with the special measures in the surgery of these patients. A thorough preoperative assessment and meticulous postoperative surveillance should be tailored for each patient, depending on the surgery and the risk of virus reactivation. We compile the relevant evidence in the literature and provide a comprehensive review of the preoperative assessment and postoperative diagnostic clues and management of the herpetic infections following different types of intraocular surgeries, including cataract surgery, keratoplasty, corneal crosslinking, glaucoma, and refractive surgeries.

Patients who failed conservative management may respond differently than those who have not undergone first-line treatment. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP injections in reducing pain and improving function in patients with chronic tendinopathy who failed conservative treatment.

Gardnerella vaginalis is the most frequently identified bacterium in approximately 95% of bacterial vaginosis (BV) cases. This species often exhibits resistance to multiple antibiotics, posing challenges for treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and explore alternative therapeutic strategies for managing bacterial vaginosis.
