Vitamin therapy combined with minimally invasive corneal surgery appears to be safe and effective in treating ectasias of varied etiology. Keratoconus, laser-assistedin situkeratomileusis (LASIK), radial keratotomy (RK), and marginal dystrophies have presented significant challenges in ophthalmic surgery. Ectasia resulting from progressive keratoconus, marginal degeneration, or any of several corneal surgical procedures has been successfully treated with riboflavin-activated ultraviolet light. These minimal surgical modalities are a major advance, and are discussed in this article.

Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. Esophageal resection is the mainstay treatment for cancers of the esophagus. While curative, surgical resection may result in swallowing difficulties that require intervention from speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Minimally invasive surgical procedures for esophageal resection have aimed to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with more invasive techniques. Both intra-operative and post-operative complications, regardless of the surgical approach, can result in dysphagia. This article will review the epidemiological impact of esophageal cancers, operative complications resulting in dysphagia, and clinical assessment and management of dysphagia pertinent to esophageal resection.
