Simultaneous placement of a bone cement implant after evisceration surgery in patients diagnosed with infectious endophthalmitis.

Background And Objectives: Endophthalmitis is a type of eye inflammation that affects all structures of the eye and is generally of infectious origin. In cases recalcitrant to intravitreal treatment or posterior vitrectomy, evisceration or enucleation are the preferable options. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement has stood out as an implant in other areas of medicine due to its great stability and healing.

Prophylaxis of topical levofloxacin against endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in Taiwan, 2001-2019: an interrupted time series analysis.

Background: Since May 2007, topical levofloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution for prophylaxis of postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) in cataract surgery has been reimbursable in Taiwan.

Aim: We used the National Health Insurance Research Database to estimate the practice of levofloxacin in cataract surgery from 2001 to 2019 and compared the POE rates before and after the introduction of levofloxacin using interrupted time series (ITS) analysis.

Combined Penetrating Keratoplasty and Vitrectomy: Long-Term Follow-Up Results.

: To assess the long-term outcomes of combined penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). : A retrospective review of eyes that underwent combined surgery followed for 12 months or longer. Demographic data, indications for surgery, and pre-/post-surgical eye examinations were retrieved.

Changes in rates of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery over the last 23years.

Purpose: Acute postoperative endophthalmitis (APE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. During the most recent decades, the use of povidone-iodine (PVI) before surgery combined with intracameral cefuroxime has drastically reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis. The goal of this study is to describe the changes in endophthalmitis rates after cataract surgery over the past two decades in a large tertiary ophthalmology center.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics of open globe injury (OGI) in children under six.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data of children with OGI admitted to the Eye Center of the Second Hospital of Jilin University, China, between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2020.

Results: The study included 106 children, with 61 males (57.

Aspergillus hiratsukae as a causative agent of endophthalmitis: A case report.

Background: Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus are commonly involved in fungal endophthalmitis. However, other less pathogenic species of the genus are also causal agents of opportunistic infections. Aspergillus hiratsukae, a species within Aspergillus section Fumigati, is an uncommon fungus responsible for a few infectious cases worldwide.

Effect of prophylactic topical antibiotics on rates of infectious complications after strabismus surgery: a large database study.

Objective: Not all strabismus surgeons use prophylactic topical antibiotics postoperatively because they may be poorly tolerated, costly, and may increase antimicrobial resistance. The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of postoperative topical antibiotics on the rate of surgical site infections following strabismus surgery.

Design: Retrospective clinical cohort study.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis after phacoemulsification in a private ophthalmic surgical group.

Purpose: To analyze the incidence, causes, risk factors and treatment of acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after phacoemulsification in a private ophthalmological group.

Design: Uncontrolled retrospective observational study of all cases of POE over 22 years.

Material And Methods: 369,476 eyes were included after phacoemulsification in 41 surgical centers of the Clínica Baviera-AIER EYE Group from 2002 to 2023.

EFFICACY OF INTRACAMERAL MOXIFLOXACIN VERSUS TOPICAL MOXIFLOXACIN IN PREVENTING ACUTE ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER CATARACT SURGERY BY PHACOEMULSIFICATION.

Background: Endophthalmitis is an acute infection of anterior and posterior segment of the eye involving aqueous humour and vitreous cavity along with the other structures. It is classified into many types including bacterial, Fungal, protozoal, viral and atypical forms. Most common route of infection is exogenous either after the surgery or traumatic perforation Objectives were of evaluate the efficacy of intracameral moxifloxacin versus topical moxifloxacin in preventing postoperative acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery by phacoemulsification.

Management of late postoperative capsular bag distension syndrome - two year case series.

Introduction: Late capsular bag distension syndrome (CBS) is a rare complication of the ^lcataract surgery.

Aim: The aim is to present 9 cases with delayed presentation and describe their successful management with surgical approach.

Method: A two-year retrospective review of 9 cases was undertaken.

Povidone iodine-infused pars plana vitrectomy for severe fungal endophthalmitis.

Purpose: Arthrographis kalrae is an opportunistic fungus that can cause a severe and atypical endophthalmitis. In limited studies, low-dose povidone iodine has been shown to be effective in treating fulminant bacterial endophthalmitis. In this case report, we describe the successful treatment of recalcitrant keratitis-associated endophthalmitis with intraocular povidone iodine during pars plana vitrectomy.

Bilateral Anti-VEGF on Same-Day-Investigation on Safety in Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Purpose: To report an incidence of procedure-related complications in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with intravitreal anti-VEGFs injection in both eyes on the same day.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter case series.

Subjects: Preterm infants with ROP treated with anti-VEGF bilaterally on the same day.

Clinical Characteristics of Related Endogenous Endophthalmitis in China.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics and systemic risk factors of related endogenous endophthalmitis (KPREE) in China and explore the possible pathophysiological mechanisms.

Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study. All enrolled KPREE patients were followed up for at least 1 month to observe their clinical characteristics, unfavorable prognosis, and risk factors, and were compared with intraocular surgery-related postoperative endophthalmitis (ISRPE).

Non-inferiority of Cataract Surgery in a Stand-Alone Unidirectional Airflow System Versus in a Conventional Operating Room: A Retrospective Study.

Purpose: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of a stand-alone unidirectional airflow system, the SurgiCube (Surgi-Cube International BV), for cataract surgery compared to a conventional operating theater (OT).

Methods: This was a retrospective and comparative cross-sectional study conducted at the Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France. All patients who underwent cataract surgery using the SurgiCube between February 2020 and February 2023 were included and compared to a separate group of patients with cataract surgery performed in a conventional OT and under topical anesthesia during the same period.

[Medical and surgical treatment of acute postoperative endophthalmitis].

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but dreadful complication of intraocular surgeries. These clinical presentations should be managed emergently with medical treatment in every case and surgical treatment in selected cases according to clinical criteria, which are still under debate. In this article, we report what was presented on this topic in the annual report at the 2024 French Society of Ophthalmology congress.

[Postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis: Differential diagnosis and confirmation].

Postoperative endophthalmitis is a bacterial infection that most often occurs acutely a few days after surgery. Any postoperative inflammation should raise the suspicion of acute endophthalmitis, especially if vitritis is present. Suspicion of the diagnosis must be combined with emergent therapeutic management in order to improve the anatomical and functional prognosis.
