Purpose. To report the epidemiological and clinical data as well as surgical outcomes of canalicular lacerations with Mini-Monoka insertion at a tertiary center in Taiwan and to discuss differences in traumatic pattern, pathogenesis, and surgical outcomes between Taiwan and other countries. Methods. From 2009 to 2018, all 48 patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair with Mini-Monoka stent at a tertiary center in Taiwan were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data and surgical outcomes were recorded. Results. The mean age of the 48 patients was 38 years. Single lower canaliculus was involved in 37 (77.1%) patients, upper canaliculus in 10 (20.8%) patients, and both in 1 (2.1%) patient. The most common etiology was motorcycle accident (41.7%), and all traffic accident injuries accounted for 68.75% of cases. Subgroup classification revealed 64.6% of patients (n=31) were categorized in the deep laceration group, and lower anatomical and functional outcomes were noted in deep laceration. The mean follow-up time was 14.5 months. Overall, the anatomical success rate was 87.5%, and the functional success rate was 91.7% after stent removal. Conclusion. Canalicular laceration caused by traffic accidents occurred with a relatively high frequency in Taiwan. Affected patients tended to be middle-aged, and deep laceration accounted for 64.6% of patients. These were contributed by the avulsive eyelid injury mechanism caused by traffic accidents. Furthermore, the deeper lacerated site was located, and the lower anatomical and functional success rates were observed. Early repair after trauma with Mini-Monoka stents achieved good eyelid position (100%) as well as good anatomical (87.5%) and functional (91.7%) success without serious complication.

Abstract Background Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a type of strabismus characterized by a sudden onset of large angle esotropia with diplopia, which often occurs in children after infancy, teenagers, and young adolescents. However, studies on the surgical outcomes of only adults are rare. The purpose of this article is to analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with AACE. Methods Medical records of 24 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥ 60 sec/arc. Results The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.1 ± 10.4 PD at distance and 33.3 ± 11.2 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 7.5 ± 4.5 months (range 1–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 3.4 ± 6.1 PD at distance and 3.8 ± 6.7 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 79.2% (19/24). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 50.0% (12/24). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery (p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time (p < 0.05). Conclusions Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

The objective of the study was to determine the long-term stricture rate of hepaticojejunostiomy (HJ) performed for benign disease, to compare stricture rates for transplant patients and non-transplant patients, and to compare the success rates of procedural and surgical treatment options. Hospital charts of 135 consecutive patients undergoing HJ between 1998 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The primary outcome was stricture formation. Secondary outcomes were time to stricture diagnosis and success rates of various interventions. The anastomotic stricture rate was 13.3 per cent (18). The mean follow-up period was 4.3 years. The mean time to stricture diagnosis was 2.3 years. Stricture rates were similar between the transplant (19.2%) and nontransplant, non-Whipple group (13%). Strictures were treated with radiological intervention with a 44.4 per cent success rate; each required multiple interventions. Mortality from liver disease after failure of nonoperative management of HJ strictures reached 30 per cent (3). Five of ten patients who failed radiological intervention underwent HJ revision; the success rate was 80 per cent. Anastomotic strictures of HJ performed for benign disease occur in 13 per cent of patients and typically develop within 2.5 years postoperatively. Yet, given the dangerous sequelae of chronic biliary obstruction and potential delay in presentation, a follow-up is recommended for up to 10 years. When strictures occur, HJ revision should be considered early, after two failed radiological interventions.

Purpose: To compare surgical outcomes according to the distance between the preplaced suture and the muscle insertion in lateral rectus (LR) recession for exotropia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 64 patients who had undergone unilateral LR recession by one right-handed surgeon and divided the patients into 2 groups: right LR recession (R group, 26 patients) and left LR recession (L group, 38 patients). In the R group, the preplaced suture was behind the hook, far from the insertion; in the L group, the suture was in front of the hook, near the insertion. The main outcome measures were postoperative alignment and surgical success rate and the secondary outcome measure was effect/dose ratio. Surgical success was defined as an alignment between 10 prism diopters (PD) of exodeviation and 5 PD of esodeviation both at distance and at near. The effect/dose ratio was defined as the corrected angle of deviation at postoperative 6 months divided by the amount of LR recession. Results: The mean angle of deviation at distance showed a significant difference between the groups at postoperative 3 months (p = 0.022), but not at final follow-up (p = 0.163). There was no difference between the groups in the mean angle of deviation at near postoperatively. Surgical success was achieved in 73.1% of the R group and 71.1% of the L group at final follow-up, which was not significant (p = 0.860). Conclusions: The distance between the preplaced suture and the muscle insertion in LR recession did not affect the surgical success rate or the postoperative alignment at final follow-up.

Purpose. To evaluate the long-term outcomes of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC-TLE) in patients with uveitic glaucoma (UG). Patients and Methods. This was a retrospective, nonrandomized case series study. MMC-TLE was performed on 50 eyes with UG between February 2001 and January 2015 at Hokkaido University Hospital. Age- and sex-matched patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who underwent MMC-TLE were matched by age and sex and enrolled as controls. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 18 or 15 mmHg. The Kaplan–Meier survival curves for surgical failure were analyzed. Results. The mean preoperative IOP in UG and POAG was 27.6 ± 10.6 and 18.0 ± 4.5 mmHg, respectively. After the surgery, the mean IOP in UG and POAG was reduced to 11.7 ± 4.2 and 12.2 ± 3.8 mmHg at 12 months, 11.9 ± 7.0 and 12.1 ± 3.1 mmHg at 36 months, and 13.0 ± 5.2 and 10.6 ± 1.2 mmHg at 120 months, respectively. The success rates (IOP <18 mmHg, IOP reduction >20%) in UG and POAG were 91.7% and 88.0% at 12 months, 82.2% and 75.6% at 36 months, and 66.5% and 61.8% at 120 months, respectively. The success rates (IOP <15 mmHg) in UG and POAG were 64.0% and 58.0% at 12 months, 55.1% and 45.5% at 36 months, and 47.9% and 37.8% at 120 months, respectively. There was no significant difference in the success rate between UG and POAG at 120 months after surgery by either definition of surgical success. Conclusions. MMC-TLE effectively reduced IOP in both UG and POAG. There was no significant difference in the success rate between UG and POAG. Following sufficient inflammation suppression, surgical outcomes of UG may be comparable with those of POAG.

Abstract Background: To analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). Methods: Medical records of 21 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥60 sec/arc. Results: The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.0 ± 11.6 PD at distance and 32.6 ± 10.8 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 8.1 ± 4.5 months (range 3–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 4.1 ± 5.7 PD at distance and 3.9 ± 5.6 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 76.2% (16/21). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 55.5% (11/21). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery ( p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

Baseline Characteristics

Purpose: We compared the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy and phacotrabeculectomy in patients with glaucoma. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent trabeculectomy or phacotrabeculectomy. Patients in the trabeculectomy group were pseudophakic. We established three different intraocular pressure (IOP) thresholds (A: <21 mmHg, B: <18 mmHg, and C: <15 mmHg) to measure complete (without medication) and qualified (with medication) success. Success criteria were analyzed through Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results: Sixty-seven eyes were included (40 trabeculectomy, 27 phacotrabeculectomy). The mean follow-up period was 25.70 ± 14.439 months. The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. The complete and qualified success rates according to criterion C were significantly higher in the trabeculectomy group ( p = 0.033, p = 0.021, respectively); however, there was a trend toward a higher success rate for all criteria in favor of trabeculectomy. Bleb needling was more frequent in the phacotrabeculectomy group. The mean IOP significantly decreased from 26.46 ± 7.07 to 12.27 ± 4.06 at 12 months ( p < 0.001). The final mean IOP was significantly lower in the trabeculectomy than in the phacotrabeculectomy group (10.95 ± 3.08 vs 13.00 ± 4.56, p = 0.0003). Conclusion: In pseudophakic eyes, trabeculectomy alone achieves a higher success rate, lower mean IOP, and less frequent bleb needlings. More frequent follow-up and prolonged postoperative use of high-dose topical steroids should be considered in patients undergoing phacotrabeculectomy.

Purpose To compare the outcomes of phacoviscocanalostomy and viscocanalostomy in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. Methods This non randomized, prospective comparative study included 168 eyes of 168 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Phacoviscocanalostomy was performed in 94 eyes with POAG and cataract and viscocanalostomy was performed in 74 eyes with POAG. Preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressures (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medication, intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded throughout the follow-up period. Results The mean follow-up after surgery was 20.13 ± 7.9 months. Mean IOP decreased significantly 1 month after surgery in both groups (p < 0.001) and remained significantly lower from its preoperative value at all follow-up visits. The postoperative mean IOP at the last follow up in phacoviscocanalostomy and viscocanalostomy was 14.98 ± 4.8 mmHg and 16.84 ± 5.0 mmHg, respectively (p = 0.001). Complete success rate in phacoviscocanalostomy and viscocanalostomy groups was 83.1% and 56.8%, respectively (p = 0.008). Qualified success rate was achieved in 89.4% eyes in the phacoviscocanalostomy group and 83.8% of viscocanalostomy group (p = 0.534). The Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in phacoviscocanalostomy group improved significantly post-operatively (p = 0.001). Postoperative antiglaucoma medication in both groups were significantly less than the preoperative values (p = 0.001). Conclusions Both Phacoviscocanalostomy and viscocanalostmy are effective procedures in the control of IOP in patients with POAG with and without cataract. Higher complete success rates and BCVA were achieved in phacoviscocanalostomy. Therefore, phacoviscocanalostomy and viscocanalostomy are recommended in eyes with medically uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma with and without coexisting cataract.

Purpose: To describe our experience with a modified frontal muscle advancement flap to treat patients with severe congenital ptosis. Methods: Analysis of the clinical charts of 154 patients who underwent a modified frontal muscle advancement flap. The FM was exposed by a crease incision. The FM flap was created by deep dissection between the orbicularis muscle and orbital septum from the skin crease incision to the supraorbital margin and subcutaneous dissection from the inferior margin of the eyebrow to 0.5 cm above the eyebrow. No vertical incision was made on the FM flap to ensure an intact flap wide enough to cover the entire upper tarsal plate. Contour, symmetry of height, marginal reflex distance (MRD1), and complications were assessed. Mean follow-up was 10 months. Results: The mean patient age was 7.6 ± 5.6 (range, 2–18) years. The mean MRD1 was 3.2 ± 1.3 mm after the operation. All bilateral cases achieved symmetry and optimal lid contour; 17 unilateral cases were under corrected, with a success rate of 89.0%. Complications such as entropion, exposure keratitis, FM paralysis, frontal hypoesthesia, severe haematoma, and entropion were not observed in our series. Conclusion: A modified frontal muscle advancement flap produced a high success rate with a clear field of vision, mild trauma, and few complications. This technique is relatively simple and should be considered for correcting severe congenital ptosis.
