surgical outcomes of unilateral recession Resection for vertical strabismus in patients with thyroid eye disease
Journal of Aapos, 2017Co-Authors: K Park, Sei Yeul OhAbstract:Purpose To present the surgical outcomes of vertical Muscle Resection in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods The medical records of 6 patients who underwent unilateral vertical Muscle recession-Resection to correct vertical strabismus in TED were reviewed retrospectively for postoperative angle of vertical deviation on days 1 and 7 and at months 1, 3, 6, and 12. Surgery was considered successful if the vertical deviation was ≤4 Δ . Reoperation rates and complications were also noted. Results The mean preoperative angle of vertical deviation was 39.2 Δ ± 3.8 Δ , and the mean final ocular deviation at 12 months postoperatively was 3.8 Δ ± 5.9 Δ . There was significant reduction in postoperative vertical deviation (paired t test, P Conclusions Based on careful assessment and appropriate patient selection, vertical Muscle Resection can be considered an effective option that provides satisfactory surgical outcomes with regard to vertical deviation correction in TED.

accessory lateral rectus Muscle in a patient with congenital third nerve palsy
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2003Co-Authors: Choul Yong Park, Sei Yeul OhAbstract:PURPOSE: To report a case of accessory lateral rectus Muscle in a patient with congenital third-nerve palsy. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: An 18-year-old boy with left exodeviation, ptosis, pupil dilation, and limited adduction, supraduction, and infraduction of his left eye. Left lateral rectus Muscle recession and medial rectus Muscle Resection were done. An orbital computed tomographic (CT) scan was obtained. RESULT: Intraoperatively, an accessory Muscle was found under the lateral rectus Muscle. Postoperatively, the orbital CT scan showed accessory lateral rectus Muscle located in the medial side of the lateral rectus Muscle. CONCLUSION: Accessory lateral rectus Muscle was demonstrated in a patient with congenital third-nerve palsy using lateral rectus Muscle surgery and an orbital CT scan.

surgical management of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a specialized hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy center
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019Co-Authors: Kevin Hodges, Carlos Godoy Rivas, Jose Aguilera, Robert Borden, Alaa Alashi, Eugene H Blackstone, Milind Y Desai, Nicholas G SmediraAbstract:Abstract Objectives This study evaluates operative approach and contemporary surgical outcomes in the management of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction by a single surgeon at a high-volume, specialized hypertrophic cardiomyopathy center. Methods This is a retrospective review of 1559 consecutive operations for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction from 2005 to 2015. Demographic profiles, echocardiogram-derived ventricular morphology and hemodynamics, operative data, and in-hospital outcomes were analyzed. Results Of the 1559 operations, 586 were isolated septal myectomies, 522 were myectomies with mitral valve or subvalvular apparatus intervention, 422 were myectomies with another concomitant procedure, and 29 were isolated mitral valve interventions without myectomy. Common mitral valve interventions included anterior leaflet shortening (16%), chordae tendineae Resection (9.8%), papillary Muscle Resection (7.2%), and papillary Muscle reorientation (7.5%). Ninety-two patients underwent mitral valve replacement, 42 for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and 50 for intrinsic mitral valve pathology. Patients undergoing mitral interventions had thinner septums (18 ± 0.4 mm vs 22 ± 0.5 mm, P Conclusions Septal myectomy can be performed safely with excellent outcomes when the procedure is performed by a highly experienced surgeon in a high-volume, specialized center. A mitral valve intervention is a useful adjunct in patients with moderate hypertrophy.

corrugator supercilii Muscle Resection and migraine headaches
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2000Co-Authors: Bahman Guyuron, Bryan J. Michelow, Theresa Thomas, Amin Varghai, Janine DavisAbstract:This study was conducted to determine whether there is an association between the removal of the corrugator supercilii Muscle and the elimination or significant improvement of migraine headaches. Questionnaires were sent to 314 consecutive patients who had undergone corrugator supercilii Muscle rese

Corrugator supercilii Muscle Resection through blepharoplasty incision.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 1995Co-Authors: Bahman Guyuron, Bryan J. Michelow, Theresa ThomasAbstract:Corrugator supercilii Muscle Resection through an upper blepharoplasty incision, with or without concomitant blepharoplasty, is suitable for patients who have significant corrugator hyperactivity and deep frown lines without eyebrow or forehead ptosis. This procedure is also appropriate for patients who decline a forehead rhytidectomy. After infiltration of local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, skin and fat are excised when a concurrent blepharoplasty is planned. The plane between the orbicularis oculi Muscle and the orbital septum is dissected until the corrugator supercilii Muscle is exposed. This Muscle is identified immediately cephalad to the medial half of the superior orbital rim. The Muscle is resected carefully to prevent injury to the supratrochlear nerve medially and the supraorbital nerve laterally. The resultant depression is eliminated with fat removed during the blepharoplasty, or fat or dermis from other sites should the aesthetic plan not include eyelid surgery. Eight patients, seven females and one male, underwent this procedure. The follow-up period ranged from 11 to 19 months, with a mean of 14.5 months. Patients' ages ranged from 25 to 66 years, with a mean of 51.3 years. A scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being excellent, was used to rate postoperative appearance, producing a mean of 4.25. The advantages of fewer skin incisions, less tissue mobilization, and a direct approach to the origin of the problem make this procedure a valuable adjunct to the cosmetic surgery armamentarium.
