  • Anesthesia for office-based oculoplastic surgery.
    Dermatologic Surgery, 2006
    Co-Authors: Brent R Moody, John B Holds
    Abstract:

    Background Many common oculoplastic surgical procedures can be performed in an office-based setting. Objective To describe a system of local anesthetic use that provides superb anesthesia administered in a nearly painless manner. Methods Combined conjunctival, topical, and injected local anesthesia is used in outpatient oculoplastic surgical procedures. The use of optional adjuvant oral sedation can decrease pain and anxiety in selected patients. Results We have successfully employed our described system of local anesthesia for office-based oculoplastic surgery. Conclusion In suitable patients, the shifting of operative location from the hospital or ambulatory surgery center to the office provides many benefits to both the patient and the surgeon.

  • The clinicopathological spectrum of benign peripunctal tumours
    Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Shimon Rumelt, Jacob Pe’er, Peter A D Rubin
    Abstract:

    Purpose Because of the rarity of peripunctal tumours and their clinical classification as conjunctival or eyelid tumours, they have gained little attention in the literature. We conducted a retrospective study to illustrate the different clinical and histopathological spectrum of peripunctal tumours seen at two Oculoplastics clinics. Methods In a retrospective interventional clinicopathologic case series study, all the charts of patients with peripunctal tumours presented at an ophthalmic oncology clinic in Jerusalem, Israel and an Oculoplastics clinic in Boston, USA were reviewed. The tumours were classified as epithelial and non-epithelial tumours. The symptoms caused by these tumours, their pattern of growth and their management were evaluated. Results Fourteen peripunctal tumours were identified. Eleven out of 175 (6.3%) peripunctal disorders and out of approximately 4, 000 (0.27%) surgical Oculoplastics patients were seen at Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, Boston. Three were seen at Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem. Seven histopathological types of peripunctal tumours of epithelial, subepithelial or melanocytic origin causing punctal occlusion or displacement were identified. The tumours included compound and junctional naevi, non-pigmented compound naevus, epithelial, subepithelial inclusion cysts, verrucous and squamous papilloma, pyogenic granuloma and oncocytoma. All the tumours were benign. They involved the peripunctal or canalicular epithelium, the adjacent skin, the glandular epithelium or the subepithelium. They presented as a peripunctal mass or were accidentally disclosed but none of them resulted in epiphora. Conclusions Peripunctal tumours are rare. They exhibit different clinical types of growth and may be difficult to diagnose based on their clinical appearance alone. The location of peripunctal tumours potentially allows their extension from the conjunctival sac into the canaliculus and vice versa. Therefore, it is best to ascertain free margins when the tumour is excised.

  • Laser applications in oculoplastic surgery and their postoperative complications.
    International ophthalmology clinics, 2000
    Co-Authors: Ramin Tayani, Peter A D Rubin
    Abstract:

    Laser surgery for oculoplastic or dermatological indications--whether incisional work, removal of pigmented or vascular lesions, removal of hair, or resurfacing--necessitates that the practitioner have appropriate training in and understanding of not only the techniques but also of their advantages and disadvantages. Understanding laser safety and how to handle complications is critical to appropriate management of laser-assisted surgery. Long-term results are limited at this time, but current information regarding the use of lasers in aesthetic oculoplastic surgery appears promising. New approaches to such operations include combining more than one type of laser or combining traditional cutting blades and lasers in an effort to reduce side effects and improve outcome.

  • advances in the management of lower eyelid retraction
    Facial Plastic Surgery, 1999
    Co-Authors: Anthony J Aldave, Marlon Maus, Peter A D Rubin
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this article is to describe the newer surgical techniques and materials available for repair of lower eyelid retraction. The anatomic basis, classification, and prevention of lower eyelid retraction are explored, as well as traditional methods of surgical management. Two case reports involving the successful use of acellular human dermis (AHD) for lower eyelid retraction are presented. Lower eyelid retraction is associated with a variety of etiologies, which mandate that the surgical repair be directed toward correction of the anatomic abnormality in each patient. Each surgical procedure and material used in the repair of eyelid retraction is associated with unique advantages and disadvantages. AHD has found multiple uses in Oculoplastics, including reconstruction of the middle and posterior lamellae in eyelid retraction. An understanding of the mechanistic basis of lower eyelid retraction and familiarity with newer techniques and materials enable the oculoplastic surgeon to modify and individualize the operative repair, resulting in better surgical outcomes.
