    Stomal Closure: Strategies to Prevent Incisional Hernia.
    Front Surg 2018 4;5:28. Epub 2018 Apr 4.
    Department of Colorectal Surgery, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
    Incisional hernias following ostomy reversal occur frequently. Incisional hernias at the site of a previous stoma closure can cause significant morbidity, impaired quality of life, lead to life-threatening hernia incarceration or strangulation and result in a significant financial burden on health care systems Despite this, the evidence base on the subject is limited. Many recognised risk factors for the development of incisional hernia following ostomy reversal are related to patient factors such as age, malignancy, diabetes, COPD, hypertension and obesity, and are not easily correctable.

    Arthroscopic Repair of the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Elbow Using a Knotless Suture Anchor.
    Arthrosc Tech 2018 Feb 1;7(2):e77-e81. Epub 2018 Jan 1.
    Department of Surgery, Monash Medical Centre, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
    The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex of the elbow plays a crucial role in the stability of the elbow joint, especially to varus loads. Deficiency of particularly the lateral ulnar collateral component of the LCL can lead to chronic posterolateral rotatory instability, which can be functionally debilitating and can lead to a rapid onset of early degenerative arthritis. Commonly, in the setting of acute rupture of the LCL, the ligament is repaired using an open technique with suture anchor fixation to the lateral epicondyle insertion point. Read More

    Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) remains the gold standard for treating overhead throwing athletes with valgus instability secondary to UCL pathology. Although surgical techniques for reconstruction have evolved over time, current methods allow 90% of patients to return to their preinjury level of activity. Despite encouraging results with reconstruction, UCL repair remains a valuable treatment option for patients with UCL pathology fitting specific criteria. Read More

    Sutureless transscleral fixation of secondary intraocular lenses.
    Curr Opin Ophthalmol 2018 May;29(3):210-216
    Department of Ophthalmology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
    Purpose Of Review: The surgical approach to eyes needing a secondary intraocular lens have evolved rapidly in recent years. Here, we will focus on techniques for scleral-fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs), and will review the evidence for their safety and efficacy.

    Recent Findings: Transscleral fixation of IOLs refers the placement of lens haptics within scleral tunnels to stabilize the lens in eyes that lack adequate capsular support. Read More

    Adjustable versus non-adjustable sutures for strabismus.
    Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2018 03 12;3:CD004240. Epub 2018 Mar 12.
    University Hospital of Wales, Heath Park, Cardiff, UK, CF14 4XW.
    Background: Strabismus, or squint, can be defined as a deviation from perfect ocular alignment and can be classified in many ways according to its aetiology and presentation. Treatment can be broadly divided into medical and surgical options, with a variety of surgical techniques being available, including the use of adjustable or non-adjustable sutures for the extraocular muscles. There exists an uncertainty as to which of these techniques produces a better surgical outcome, and an opinion that the adjustable suture technique may be of greater benefit in certain situations.
