Lamellar Keratoplasty Case Study

Group 1: Twenty five eyes for which a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty was done using double bubble modification of the big bubble technique as described by Foroutan and Dastjerdi (2007). All cases were operated by a single experienced anterior segment surgeon. The recipient operative procedure was done first before stripping the descement membrane from the donor so as not to lose the graft if large DM perforation occurred and the surgeon decided to covert to PKP and it was done as follows:
1- Moxifloxacin HCl ophthalmic solution 0.5% was administrated for one to two days preoperatively, four times daily, to reduce the risk of infection.
2- All patients were operated under general anesthesia.
3- Sterilization of the surgical field with Betadine 10% solution
4- Insertion of drape to isolate the globe from …show more content…

By the time that the air extends peripherally to the trephine groove, formation of a bubble is very unlikely and we stopped injecting air. This preserves some clear areas of corneal tissue (i.e., regions where the air has not yet penetrated), and also prevents air from entering the AC through the trabecular meshwork. We did not give up; the procedure was repeated once or twice in clear region of cornea until we get a sufficient bubble. Here we checked the IOP again.
19- Superficial keratectomy using Crescent knife bevel up started at the trephination edge going through the bed of trephination to the other end removing the superficial part of the cornea
20- The planned penetration point was determined and the bubble was punctured with a 15° slit-knife to allow escape of the air and collapse of the bubbleViscoelastic material was injected to slow sudden collapse of the bubble and to keep Descemet’s membrane away from manipulations. After puncturing of the bubble the other bubble in the A.C shifted to the

With a 90% attributed casualty rate to the Minie Ball innovation, leaders had no ethical choice than to modify the tactics and doctrine for the current modern warfare (C}. The casualties sustained in Napoleonic style fighting using the Minie Ball was unacceptable by any means shown through the carnage produced during the war (F}. When it comes to the closure of a sucking chest wound, the procedure was adopted by surgeons across the American Civil War Theater as the way to treat the sucking chest wound (D). Anything less than applying the principles of this treatment would have left a patient knocking at deaths door, an ethical dilemma no surgeon would want to be in with an innovation proven to counter this

One of the procedures is known as trepanning, this was the process where the surgeon bore a hole in the person’s skull in order to alleviate any of the cerebral pressure or mental illness. People brought in with wounds with no way of sewing them up, were seared closed. Cauterizing had become a quick patch up for soldiers out on the battlefield as a way of fighting off an infection, this in theory was not always found in practice. A wound seared too little or too much could cause the infection to spread quicker. Along with some of the more grueling operations, amputation have been seen all throughout history.

The spread of disease and illness was also a major concern, with outbreaks of epidemics such as the bubonic plague and smallpox causing widespread death and devastation. Despite these challenges, the medical field from 1500 to 1800 AD was a crucial period in the development of modern medicine. It laid the foundation for many of the medical practices and technologies we rely on today, and paved the way for future medical breakthroughs This paper aims to explore the medical practices and surgical procedures that were prevalent during this time.

Initially the process consisted of using alcohol to destroy brain tissue, through holes which were drilled in the skull (Whitaker, 2002). Soon after, a pick called a leucotome was added to the surgery to cut the frontal lobe tissue (Whitaker, 2002). In the 1940s, the transorbital lobotomy became popular (Whitaker, 2002).

As this technique depends on the presence and detection of anatomic landmarks like teeth and pterygomandibular raphe. Variations in these landmarks like mandibular ramus and mandibular foramen can occur; hence, there are more chances of failure to anesthetize the inferior alveolar nerve. Improper technique by the dentist is the other main reason of IANB failure. Due to the proximity of injection site to the neuromuscular bundle, there is high positive aspiration rate and intravascular injection (10% to 15%). Pain, trismus and needle breakage, facial paralysis, hematoma, ptosis, self-inflicted trauma and pterygomandibular space infection are the other major complications of this
