Abstract

Purpose:

To evaluate the results of surgical management of scleral defects using fascia lata, cornea, and sclera as graft materials.

Methods:

The scleral defects of 8 patients were repaired surgically. Six had previous intraocular surgery, 1 had eye trauma, and the other had both intraocular surgery and trauma. Corneoscleral grafts were used in 3 eyes, scleral grafts in 4, and fascia lata was used in 1 eye.

Results:

In 7 patients, we achieved the desired cosmetic and tectonic success. During the follow-up period, a recurrent defect was seen in 1 patient, and a second operation was required.

Conclusions:

Surgical techniques using fascia lata, corneal, and scleral grafts are effective for scleral defects.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
