Endoscopic holmium laser excision of intravesical tension-free vaginal tape and Polypropylene Suture after anti-incontinence procedures.
The Journal of urology, 2020Co-Authors: Subhasis K Giri, John Drumm, Hugh D FloodAbstract:We report on our technique of endoscopic excision of intravesical tension-free vaginal tape procedure and Polypropylene Sutures using the holmium laser following various anti-incontinence procedures. Three patients who previously underwent the tension-free vaginal tape, Burch colposuspension and Stamey vesicopexy, respectively, presented with a range of symptoms including hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infection, frequency, urgency and urinary incontinence. Patients were evaluated with history and examination, and all 3 were found to have nonabsorbable intravesical material. There was obvious encrustation over the eroded Polypropylene material within the bladder. A 365 microm tip firing holmium laser fiber was inserted through the working channel of the flexible cystoscope. The tape and Sutures were successfully excised using a holmium laser output of 1.0 J per pulse at a rate of 10 Hz. Mean operative time was 15 minutes. Holmium laser excision of intravesical Polypropylene tape or Suture is a minimally invasive solution to the problem of intravesical perforation or erosion following anti-incontinence procedures.

Elastic Polypropylene Suture in cataract surgery: long-term follow-up.
Eye, 1996Co-Authors: A M O'driscoll, M M Quraishy, N C AndrewAbstract:The final part of a prospective, controlled study of elastic Polypropylene Suture for cataract surgery was undertaken. The aim was to determine the change in induced astigmatism at 30 months after extracapsular cataract surgery and to assess the long-term safety of the Suture material. Thirty-two of 44 patients were reexamined for changes in astigmatism. The results of all examinations were subjected to vector analysis. Both the elastic Polypropylene group and the nylon control group continued to show an increase in the against-the-rule component of astigmatism. There was no statistical difference (p

elastic Polypropylene Suture in cataract surgery long term follow up
Eye, 1996Co-Authors: A M Odriscoll, M M Quraishy, N C AndrewAbstract:The final part of a prospective, controlled study of elastic Polypropylene Suture for cataract surgery was undertaken. The aim was to determine the change in induced astigmatism at 30 months after extracapsular cataract surgery and to assess the long-term safety of the Suture material. Thirty-two of 44 patients were reexamined for changes in astigmatism. The results of all examinations were subjected to vector analysis. Both the elastic Polypropylene group and the nylon control group continued to show an increase in the against-the-rule component of astigmatism. There was no statistical difference (p<0.5) between the two groups at 30 months post-operatively, though the shift was greater in the Polypropylene group. Wound security was similar for both groups but the Polypropylene group had a higher incidence of giant papillary conjunctivitis (24%) due to exposed Suture ends. The nylon Suture was hydrolysed in 89% of that group and all patients were asymptomatic.

A prospective, controlled study of a 9/0 elastic Polypropylene Suture for cataract surgery: refractive results and complications.
Eye, 1994Co-Authors: A M O'driscoll, R R Goble, G N Hallack, N C AndrewAbstract:A prospective, randomised study was performed on 52 patients undergoing routine limbal extracapsular cataract surgery to compare the effect of 10/0 nylon and 9/0 elastic Polypropylene Sutures on post-operative astigmatism. Both the magnitude and the axis of the astigmatism were measured by keratometry and refraction pre-operatively and at regular intervals for 3 months post-operatively. Both groups showed an increase in the magnitude of astigmatism immediately post-operatively. The Polypropylene group showed a more rapid decrease in astigmatism over the first 7 days and subsequent stabilisation, although the only significant (p

a prospective controlled study of a 9 0 elastic Polypropylene Suture for cataract surgery refractive results and complications

Both the magnitude and the axis of the astigmatism were measured by keratometry and refraction pre-operatively and at regular intervals for 3 months post-operatively. Both groups showed an increase in the magnitude of astigmatism immediately post-operatively. The Polypropylene group showed a more rapid decrease in astigmatism over the first 7 days and subsequent stabilisation, although the only significant (p<0.05) difference in astigmatism between the two groups was at week post-operatively. Both groups showed ‘with-the-rule’ astigmatism immediately post-operatively, although more of the Polypropylene group developed ‘against-the-rule’ astigmatism by the end of the study. Despite an early reduction in post-operative astigmatism in the Polypropylene group, early spectacle prescribing would not be recommended because of the shift in the axis of astigmatism. In addition, the Polypropylene group had a 4 times greater incidence of iris prolapse compared with the nylon group.

Polypropylene Suture guided valve tube for posterior chamber implantation in patients with pseudophakic glaucoma
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Javier Morenomontanes, Francisco Fantes, P J GarciagomezAbstract:We describe a new surgical procedure for implanting a glaucoma drainage tube in the posterior chamber. A needle with a 10-0 Polypropylene Suture is introduced into the posterior chamber, and a 23-gauge needle is also introduced as the barrel on the Polypropylene needle tip. After the 23-gauge needle is withdrawn from the posterior chamber, the Polypropylene needle tip is pulled and the Suture crosses the anterior and posterior chambers. A sliding knot is made around the drainage tube. The tube is pushed into the scleral tunnel and posterior chamber as the Suture is pulled to position the tube. The knot is loosened and the Suture removed from the eye by pulling from either side. This procedure is easy and effective for implanting a tube in the posterior chamber in pseudophakic eyes and is indicated after penetrating keratoplasty or in eyes with compromised endothelial function.
