Purpose: To describe a new surgical technique for managing Ahmed Glaucoma Valve tube exposure. The technique is simple, safe, easy to perform and may be an interesting alternative to conventional covering of the tube. This technique allows unlike the classical ones to act on the cause and not only on the complication of extrusion. Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective case series that included four eyes of four patients who presented with an Ahmed Glaucoma Valve tube exposure. Results: Surgery was uneventful in all cases and we did not observe any intraoperative or postoperative complications. After at least 1-year follow-up, no case of tube re-exposure was detected. Conclusions: Many techniques have been proposed in order to cover the extruded tubes, and different materials may be used to reinforce the coverage, but re-exposure of the tube is a possible scenario. Indeed, our technique attempts not only to cover the exposed tube but also to solve the cause of the extrusion.

Purpose: To assess preliminarily the efficacy and safety of a relatively new surgical modification of phacovitrectomy in eyes with cataract and visually significant asteroid hyalosis (AH). Materials and methods: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series of six eyes of six patients (mean age 75.6 years; 1 woman, 5 men) with cataract and visually significant AH treated with a novel surgical technique—a phacoemulsification with anterior vitrectomy through posterior capsulorhexis and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Main outcome measures were: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), IOL centration, complications. Mean follow-up was 39.17 ± 4.31 months. Results: The mean BCVA (Snellen) improved from 0.26 ± 0.18 to 0.73 ± 0.33 at the end of the follow-up. IOP was in the normal range, and no problems with IOL fixation were observed at the end of the follow-up. No post-operative complications, retinal detachment, retinal tears, macular edema or prolonged inflammation were observed. Conclusions: The presented new surgical technique seems to be a safe and efficacious method to treat cataract with visually significant asteroid hyalosis.

Abstract Background and purpose: The medial closing-wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (MCW-DFVO) was an excellent operation for painful valgus lateral unicompartmental osteoarthritic (OA) knee, especially in the young patient. Originally, it requires a medial approach that has more precarious. On top of that, releasing of the iliotibial band (ITB) that is the deforming force needs added incision. Therefore, this study aims to describe the new surgical technique of MCW-DFVO that uses a lateral approach and lateral plating to treat the valgus OA knee. Additionally, we also reveal the outcomes of our technique as the case series.Materials and method: Ten patients (12 knees) who underwent MCW-DFVO via a lateral approach were retrospectively reviewed. The inclusion criteria were age > 18 years, isolated lateral compartmental OA knee, no significant patellofemoral pain, and ROM > 90 degrees. We excluded the inflammatory joint disease, unstable knee (femorotibial joint subluxation > 1 cm), and prior surgical procedure. Demographic data, pre- and postoperative ROM, radiographic outcomes, complications, and survivorship were recorded.Results: The mean age, body mass index, and preoperative ROM were 55.3 ± 4.0 years, 25.4 ± 3.7 kg/m2and 113.3 ± 11.5 degrees, respectively. The preoperative valgus deformity was 162.3 ± 4.8 degrees, and the Final post-operative alignment was 182.3 ± 2.6 degrees. Overall mean operative time of this technique was 92.5 ± 26.7 minutes. During the follow-up period, post-operative ROM was decreased to 108.8 ± 11.7 degrees. One knee required plate removal due to hardware irritation, and another knee required subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 1 and 8.5 years after DFVO, respectively. The survivorship of this technique was 91.7% at the mean survival time of 13.8 years (95% confidence interval, 11.9 – 15.7 years).Conclusion: This study proposed the new surgical technique of MCW-DFVO via a lateral approach. This technique provided a satisfactory outcome and excellent survivorship. However, further research with a larger sample size was required.
