Filter by:The aim of this study is to show that the performance of Novosyn® Quick suture material is comparable with standard suture material used in Ophthalmic surgery. In order to show that, various safety and efficacy parameters have been selected. The outcome regarding these parameters will be compared in 2 treatment groups. Active control group will receive Vicryl® Rapide and the treatment group Novosyn® Quick for ophthalmic surgery. It was decided to design this study as a randomized trial, because limited clinical evidence is available in the literature for the active control group (Vicryl® Rapide) which can be used for comparison. Eye operation will be randomly allocated on the left and right side (1:1) to both treatment groups. Patients undergoing elective, primary ophthalmic surgery (dacryocystorhinostomy, ectropion, entropion, ptosis, eyelid tumor resection, blepharoplasty)
The aim of the study: Assessment of Changes of Periocular Skin Sensation Following Eyelid and Ocular Surface Surgeries. Study design: an interventional study that will be conducted at the ophthalmology department, Meir hospital, Kfar Saba, Israel. the study will include 60 healthy patients, at the ages of 40-80, which are candidates for eyelid surgery: blepharoptosis repair, blepharoplasty, ectropion repair and entropion repair. The patients will be recruited from Meir's ophthalmology outpatient clinic. Each patient will undergo a full ophthalmologic examination including relevant assessment of the specific eyelid pathology. The eyelid's sensation will be assessed at 6 points of the eyelid using the Cochet-Bonnet filament-type aesthesiometer (Luneau Ophtalmologie, Paris, France). Measurements will take place before surgery, and two weeks, three months and six months after surgery.
Surgical outcome of entropion associated with Down's syndrome was evaluated. Grading scale of superficial punctate keratopathy and score of wearing glasses to correct refractive errors were measured.
Objective To investigate the tissue reaction produced by implanted polyglactin suture material in normal human skin and to determine the effect of suture gauge on this response. Design A prospective, double blind, randomized clinical trial using a novel ethical study design. Both the patient and clinician analyzing the histology were blinded to the suture gauge used. Participants A total of 42 consecutive patients presenting to an oculoplastic clinic with involutional entropion and horizontal eyelid laxity, who provided written consent to participate, were enrolled in the study. Intervention Patients were randomly allocated to 5/0 or 7/0 Vicryl™ test suture groups. Patient symptoms were alleviated during the wait for definitive surgery by the placement of temporary eyelid everting sutures including a test suture. After 28 days, entropion correction was achieved by a Quickert procedure which includes excision of an eyelid wedge. Histological analysis was carried out, blind to the suture gauge used, on the excised eyelid containing the test suture. Main outcome measure Defined histological parameters of suture-related granulomas were measured at multiple levels. Data included granuloma outer diameter, central cellular diameter, giant cell number and area of fibrous coat (calculated from the coat diameter and thickness at multiple levels) and a statistical comparison made between the 5/0 and 7/0 suture gauge groups.
The purpose of this research study is to is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FDA approved Holmium:YAG laser for reducing lower eyelid bags.
