Results after surgical treatment of thumb duplication: a retrospective review of 33 thumbs

Purpose. To review the clinical outcome of patients with hypertensive uveitis.Methods. Retrospective review of uveitis patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) > 25 mmHg and >1-year follow-up. Data are uveitis type, etiology, viral (VU) and nonviral uveitis (NVU), IOP, and medical and/or surgical treatment.Results. In 61 patients, IOP values are first 32.9 mmHg (SD: 9.0), highest 36.6 mmHg (SD: 9.9), 3 months after the first episode 19.54 mmHg (SD: 9.16), and end of follow-up 15.5 mmHg (SD: 6.24). Patients with VU (n=25) were older (50.6 y/35.7 y,p=0.014) and had more unilateral disease (100%/72.22% p=0.004) than those with NVU (n=36). Thirty patients (49.2%) had an elevated IOP before topical corticosteroid treatment. Patients with viral uveitis might have higher first elevated IOP (36.0/27.5 mmHg,p=0,008) and maximal IOP (40.28/34.06 mmHg,p=0.0148) but this was not significant when limited to the measurements before the use of topical corticosteroids (p=0.260and 0.160). Glaucoma occurred in 15 patients (24.59%) and was suspected in 11 (18.03%) without difference in viral and nonviral groups (p=0.774).Conclusion. Patients with VU were older and had more unilateral hypertensive uveitis. Glaucoma frequently complicates hypertensive uveitis. Half of the patients had an elevated IOP before topical corticosteroid treatment.

We describe an endaural technique for soft tissue and bony meatoplasty and canalplasty in the surgical management of chronic otitis externa unresponsive to medical treatment and out-patient microsuction. Following analysis of the surgical outcome via a retrospective review of patient records, we would recommend this surgical treatment in this patient group.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis (ILTS) is an uncommon problem arising mostly in women. In some, it arises during or is exacerbated by pregnancy. Experience with management of patients with this rare association is limited. This study seeks to evaluate the management of patients with pregnancy-associated ILTS and compare outcomes to cases not associated with pregnancy. METHODS Retrospective review of 15 patients undergoing surgical treatment of pregnancy-associated ILTS from 1971 to 2013. Variables of interest and airway outcomes were compared to patients with non-pregnancy-associated ILTS. RESULTS Pregnancy-associated ILTS was observed in 15/263 (5.7%) patients. Symptoms developed during their first pregnancy. When compared to non-pregnancy patients, these patients were younger (37 vs 47 years; P = 0.0003), had more prior tracheostomies (26.7% vs 10.9%; P = 0.085) and had more preoperative airway dilatations (86.7% vs 57.7%; P = 0.030). All patients completed pregnancy without complications and ultimately underwent laryngotracheal resection. The expression of hormonal receptors in the surgical specimens was similar in both groups (oestrogen receptors: 100% vs 75% and progesterone receptors: 71.4% vs 72.1%, in pregnancy and non-pregnancy patients, respectively). Airway outcomes were good/excellent in 13 (86.7%) patients with pregnancy-associated ILTS and 225 (90.7%) patients without pregnancy association (P = 0.642), and did not change when adjusting for other risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy-associated ILTS is rare. The pathophysiology is unclear, but appearance of symptoms during pregnancy may suggest hormonal factors. To minimize foetal risk, dilatation during pregnancy followed by laryngotracheal resection after delivery is the preferred treatment. Pregnancy association does not seem to affect outcomes with expected satisfactory results in most patients.
