Dear Colleagues, A recent publication in the American Journal of Case Reports by authors from the Florida International University, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA, discusses a technique for preoperatively treating patients with massive flank hernias. The study utilized preoperative botulinum injections in conjunction with open flank hernia repair to achieve optimal outcomes. The results showed successful closure of the hernia defect without recurrence. This technique offers surgeons a valuable method for managing incisional flank hernias, particularly in the context of lateral lumbar interbody fusions. Further investigation into the benefits of botulinum injections as an adjunct in the management of massive flank hernias is recommended. The complete report is now available on the American Journal of Case Reports webpage. | https://lnkd.in/d5a7xbA4

Ophthopedia Update:Effect of Corneal and Lens Eccentricity Difference on Rigid Corneal Lens Treatment in Patients With Keratoconus: Objective: To evaluate the effects of rigid corneal lenses (RCL) in patients with keratoconus, based on eccentricity. Methods: Eighty-four eyes from 84 patients were included in this retrospective comparative study. Based on the median value of eccentricity difference between the cornea and back surface of the RCL, the patients were divided into groups 1 ( #Ophthalmology #Eye #Ophthotwitter

Ophthopedia Update:PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY: Analysis of Risk Factors and Complications in 850 Cases: Background: To study out types and incidence of the complications and reveal the risk factors that affect anatomical and visual success of pneumatic retinopexy with a high number of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment cases. Methods: Eight hundred and fifty eyes of the 837 patients who admitted at a tertiary center, between January 2015 and January 2022 for the diagnosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, then underwent pneumatic retinopexy and had at least sixth month follow-up, were included in the study. The multivariate logistic regression model was created to investigate the factors affecting anatomical and visual success. Results: The anatomical success rate was 53.4% with the first pneumatic retinopexy and 99.8% after subsequent procedures. Visual acuity of >0.4 logMAR ( #Ophthotwitter #Ophthalmology #Retina

Interesting Case Study Highlight: Diagnosing Myositis Ossificans Clinical History: A 19-year-old male soccer player complaining of left thigh inner mass midsection with pain and stiffness. The patient had a history of thigh trauma 2 months ago during a football match. Diagnosis: Following thorough medical imaging examinations at ERAD, the diagnostic results indicated a case of Myositis Ossificans, a condition where bone tissue forms inside muscle or soft tissue after trauma. Early and accurate diagnosis was crucial in guiding his treatment plan, ensuring a swift recovery and a return to the field.
