Ophthamology

OPHTHALMOLOGY SURGICAL SPECTRUM

• Advanced eyelid grafting techniques (following large mass removal or for congenital defects)
• Axial pattern skin flap (for coverage of wide margin exenteration defects)
• Brow elevation (stellate rhydidectomy, mersilene sling)
• Conjunctival pedicle graft/BioSYS grafts (for descemetocele, perforated cornea)
• Corneal laceration repair
• Cryoepilation (for distichia)
• Cryosurgery (for select eyelid tumors)
• Cyclocryotherapy (glaucoma)
• Ectopic cilia excision
• Entropion repair (typically combinations of Hotz-celcus, Stades eversion, lateral canthoplasty, etc)
• Enucleation (typically with orbital prosthesis)
• Evisceration with intrascleral prosthesis
• Exenteration (for orbital neoplasia)
• Eyelid H-plasty
• Eyelid laceration repair
• Eyelid V-plasty
• Glaucoma valve insertion
• Imperforate punctum opening
• Lamellar keratectomy with corneal transposition graft (for corneal sequestrum)
• Lensectomy
• Nictitans excision (neoplasia)
• Orbital abscess drainage (orbital cellulites/abcess)
• Orbitotomy/orbital exploration
• Parotid duct transposition (for KCS)
• Prolapsed nictitans gland repositioning (for “cherry eye”)
• Temporary eyelid tacking or stapling (for puppy entropion)
• Temporary tarsorrhaphy (for proptosis)
• Thermokeratoplasty (for endothelial decompensation with bullous keratopathy; chronic indolent ulcer)
