A novel technique for closed-chamber iridodialysis repair.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We introduce a novel technique for closed chamber iridodialysis repair.

Materials and methods

We use a 2.8-mm paracentesis knife to penetrate into the anterior chamber and create interrupted incisions in the sclera. The wounds are 1.5 mm distant from the limbus, at consistent 2.8-mm intervals along the dialysis area. After injecting viscocohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device through a side port to relieve the synechia and to push the iris toward the incisions, the iris is then grasped by Kelman forceps through the sclera, dragged carefully, and incarcerated. After adjusting the tension of the iris according to the pupil shape, the sclera and the incarcerated iris tissue were sutured together with 10-0 nylon.

Results

The technique was effective in six patients with traumatic iridodialysis.

Conclusion

Our surgical technique repairs the iris, restores the shape of pupil, as well as avoids creating a large incision in the limbus in patients suffering from iridodialysis.

Project description:BackgroundRobotic mitral repair is generally performed with four intercostal trocars and a minithoracotomy. We describe our technique and results with a totally-thoracoscopic closed chest approach using a 12 mm valveless trocar as "working port", without a minithoracotomy. We compared our results with this technique with a control group of robotic mitral repairs performed earlier with a minithoracotomy.MethodsReview of all patients with degenerative mitral valve disease who underwent robotic mitral valve repair surgery since December 2019 (n = 110). Patients with concomitant procedures (n = 8) were excluded. The remaining 102 patients were divided in two groups, depending on the approach used, minithoracotomy (n = 63) and totally thoracoscopic (n = 39).ResultsThere were no significant differences between groups regarding preoperative characteristics. All procedures were completed robotically as planned, and repair rate was 100%. The minithoracotomy group showed a higher percentage of leaflet resections (17.9% vs. 38.7%; p = 0.03). All surgical times were significatively reduced in the totally thoracoscopic group: Cardiopulmonary bypass (97 vs. 115 min, p = 0.0008), ischemic time (67 vs. 80 min, p = 0.0013) and total surgical time (185 vs. 225 min; p < 0.00001). There were no differences in ICU length of stay (1 day, p = 0.07) but hospital length of stay was shorter in the totally thoracoscopic group (4 days; p = 0.0001). Postoperative complications were similar between groups. MR at discharge was mild or less in all cases.ConclusionsRobotic mitral repair for degenerative disease can be safely performed as a closed-chest procedure, using a 12 mm trocar as "working port" and avoiding the need for a minithoracotomy. This approach does not seem to negatively affect the quality of the procedure by any measure, providing similar excellent clinical outcomes and repair rate. All surgical times were shorter in the closed-chest group.
