Strabismus Surgery: Beyond Just Seeing Straight? Strabismus surgery is commonly performed to improve or eliminate diplopia symptoms, or to restore or improve binocular single vision, but what about when the goal is something else entirely? This study published at the British and Irish Orthoptic Journal explores the outcomes of strabismus surgery due to psychosocial reasons. The review results suggest that strabismus surgery can be beneficial for adults experiencing emotional distress due to misaligned eyes. However, there's a need for more focused studies to: ✅ Define success: What exactly constitutes a positive outcome for these patients? ✅ Measure progress: How can we best track improvements in emotional well-being? 💡 The Future: This study highlights the importance of considering the emotional impact of strabismus. Future research can provide stronger evidence to support strabismus surgery as a tool to improve quality of life. What are thoughts on the results of this study? Please, share your experience, in dealing with patients submitted to strabismus surgery due psychosocial reasons, below in the comments section 👇 .

🩺 Avoiding Surgery for Lumbar Disc Injuries 🩺 Understanding the causes of nerve obstruction can help you manage lumbar disc issues without surgery. Here are two key reasons why nerves might get blocked: • Stenosis: Chronic arthritis can lead to the narrowing of nerve openings over time. As bone builds up to secure the area, it can constrict nerves and cause discomfort. • Lateral Disc Protrusion: When the disc’s jelly-like material leaks out, it can occupy the nerve space and lead to pain and obstruction. Addressing these issues with the right approach can help you find relief and avoid surgical options. 💪 #LumbarDiscInjury #AvoidSurgery #SpineHealth #NerveRelief #DiscProtrusion #Stenosis #PainManagement #HealthySpine #ChronicPain #OrthopedicCare

One of the important factors in a successful endometriosis surgery is to be able to identify all types of endometriosis lesions, including colours. When surgery is done by a doctor who has less experience in endometriosis, and who might be familiar only with classic endometriosis lesions colours, disease might be left behind. This might be the case in young patients before or after they have started their periods. A study done in Boston on five premenarcheal girls aged between 8.5 to 13 years with pelvic pain of unclear etiology that underwent surgery, notes that all subjects were identified as having clear, red, and/or white lesions consistent with stage I endometriosis based on a well-know staging system. For a general gynecologist these lesions might have been missed. In another study that describes endometriosis lesions colours, the authors note that early endometriosis lesions are either transparent or translucent because they still lack formation of vasculatures around them. Knowing where to look and what endometriosis lesions look like based on the age of the patient, plays a major role in surgery. The second part is to be able to remove them using excision. #ace #drdinos #athenscentreforendometriosis #athensendometriosis #endometriosisgreece #endometriosisspecialist #endometriosiscolours

Myth: Surgery leaves noticeable scars Fact: Modern surgical techniques are designed to minimize scarring. Our highly skilled board-certified gynecomastia plastic surgeons use precise incisions and advanced methods to ensure any scars are small and discreet. Myth: The condition will return after surgery Fact: Gynecomastia surgery is most often a permanent solution when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

What’s the treatment for glaucoma? Doctors use different types of treatment for glaucoma, including medicines (usually eye drops), laser treatment, and surgery. 1. Medicines. Prescription eye drops are the most common treatment. They lower the pressure in your eye and prevent damage to your optic nerve. 2. Laser treatment. To lower your eye pressure, doctors can use lasers to help the fluid drain out of your eye. It’s a simple procedure that your doctor can do in the office. 3. Surgery. If medicines and laser treatment don’t work, your doctor might suggest surgery. There are several different types of surgery that can help the fluid drain out of your eye. #glaucoma #senior #eye #healthcare #hospitalsofbhopal #Bhopal #kohefiza #hospital
