tube fenestrations in baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery 1 year results compared with standard implant surgery
Journal of Glaucoma, 2002Co-Authors: Geoffrey T. Emerick, Steven J Gedde, Donald L BudenzAbstract:PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tube fenestrations in eyes undergoing polyglactin Suture-ligated Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors performed a retrospective nonrandomized comparative interventional study of consecutive cases of 111 eyes of 111 patients with refractory glaucoma who received polyglactin (Vicryl) Suture-ligated Baerveldt 350 implants as a single procedure. In 69 of these cases (group 1), fenestrations were placed anterior to the ligature using a Suture Needle. In 42 cases (group 2), no fenestrations were performed. Main outcome measures included intraocular pressure, visual acuity, and complications. RESULTS: Mean (+/- SD) preoperative intraocular pressure was 36.7 +/- 10.2 mm Hg in group 1 and 28.3 +/- 10.3 mm Hg in group 2 (P <0.001). Postoperative mean intraocular pressure was lower in group 1 than in group 2 at day 1 (20.2 +/- 12.8 vs. 29.3 +/- 1.9 mm Hg, P <0.001) and week 1 (18.3 +/- 10.4 vs. 23.7 +/- 8.6 mm Hg, P = 0.006), but was virtually identical at 1 year (12.7 +/- 4.9 vs. 12.6 +/- 4.4 mm Hg, P = 0.95). Number of glaucoma medications used by group 1 patients was significantly lower up to 3 months (P

Needle path planning for autonomous robotic surgical suturing
2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013Co-Authors: Russell C. Jackson, Cenk M. ÇavuşoğluAbstract:This paper develops a path plan for Suture Needles used with solid tissue volumes in endoscopic surgery. The path trajectory is based on the best practices that are used by surgeons. The path attempts to minimize the interaction forces between the tissue and the Needle. Using surgical guides as a basis, two different techniques for driving a Suture Needle are developed. The two techniques are compared in hardware experiments by robotically driving the Suture Needle using both of the motion plans.

simplified ab externo scleral fixation for late in the bag intraocular lens dislocation
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Tyler Q Kirk, Garry P CondonAbstract:Many surgical techniques to repair late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation have been described. We present a modification to ab externo scleral fixation of in-the-bag IOL dislocation that minimizes cumbersome intraocular manipulations. Using an iris hook for intraocular Suture retrieval under direct visualization eliminates the need to mate the Suture Needle with a hypodermic Needle, and the site through which the hook is used provides an ideal place for Suture knot burial, potentially minimizing late Suture erosion or exposure.
