Non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NIVATS) is increasingly performed in different types of thoracic procedures. Based on the anesthetic perspective, the outcomes of this method are li...
This was a retrospective study conducted at Vajira Hospital. Data were collected from the hospital medical record database between January 9, 2019, and May 15, 2020. A propensity score-matched analysi...
In total, 180 patients were included in the analysis. There were 98 and 82 patients in the NIVATS and IVATS groups, respectively. After a propensity score matching, the number of patients with similar...
The anesthetic and surgical outcomes of NIVATS were comparable to those of IVATS....
To investigate the clinical characteristics and dacryoendoscopic findings and clinical efficacy of silicone tube intubation (STI) in the patients who referred to our center due to failed with conventi...
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 61 cases from 50 patients who underwent STI or endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy using dacryoendoscopy from January 2016 to May 2021. Clinical charact...
The study included 12 male and 38 female patients (mean age, 64.1 ± 13.2 years). In the preoperative lacrimal irrigation test, passage was found in 33 eyes (54.1%) and no passage in 28 eyes (45.9%). T...
STI using dacryoendoscopy has a higher surgical success rate than conventional STI since dacryoendoscopy provides direct visualization of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. It could be useful in increasin...
To evaluate the efficacy of trephination and monocanalicular/bicanalicular silicone tube use depending on the number of affected canaliculi in patients with canalicular obstruction....
This retrospective study included 46 eyes of 36 patients who underwent trephination and silicone tube intubation performed by a single experienced oculoplastic surgeon due to canalicular obstruction b...
Twenty (55.6%) patients were female and 16 (44.4%) were male. The mean age was 15.82 ± 7.02 years in the treatment success group and 28.87 ± 12.74 years in the treatment failure group (p = 0.001). Whi...
We consider that trephination with the use of a monocanalicular or bicanalicular silicone tube depending on the number of affected canaliculi can be the first choice of treatment in canalicular obstru...
The pigtail was used to create an opening at the lower punctal site in grade 0 stenosis with insertion of self-retaining tube and Mitomycin C (MMC)....
The patients with acquired lower punctal stenosis (grade 0) were divided randomly into equal groups, Group A: were treated with pigtail and MMC 0.02% and Group B: were treated with pigtail alone. The ...
Results of 36 eyes from 26 patients were included. No differences were observed between both groups regarding epiphora score, FDD test and punctal size preoperatively. The postoperative epiphora score...
The pigtail probe, bicanalicular stent and MMC can be an effective method in treatment of severe punctal stenosis....
To define and compare the effectiveness of external dacryocystorhinostomy (EX-DCR), endonasal (EN-DCR), and transcanalicular laser-assisted (TL-DCR) with or without silicone stent (S) intubation....
Studies were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and WoS. Frequentist and Bayesian network meta-analyses were performed and pooled estimations were expressed as risk ratio (RR). We included all original in...
Thirty-two studies with 3277 cases were included in the final quantitative analysis. TL-DCR with S was inferior to EN-DCR with S (RR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.05-1.37), EX-DCR with S (RR: 1.17 95% CI: 1.05-1.2...
Between endoscopic and external and transcanalicular laser without S procedures, there is no statistical difference. The rank probability showed that EN-DCR with S was a more appropriate surgical opti...
To compare the success rates of probing with or without monocanalicular intubation, and/or inferior turbinate fracture in resolving simple congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). A randomize...
To determine the incidence of tympanostomy tube (T-tube) insertion in children who required probing and intubation for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) at a single academic institution...
The medical records of 92 patients who underwent nasolacrimal probing and intubation for CNLDO over a 9-year period were reviewed retrospectively. A preoperative questionnaire was given to the patient...
Of the 92 children with CNLDO, 37 (40%) required T-tubes either prior to or following nasolacrimal duct probing and intubation, a rate higher than in the general population (P < 0.00001). 21 (56%) of ...
In our study cohort, pediatric patients with CNLDO who required nasolacrimal probing and intubation were at higher risk of needing T-tubes for chronic OM than the general population, and those needing...
The high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has become a widely used respiratory support system, which has proven to be effective in different populations. The facilitation of oral communication and feeding ha...
A scoping review will be conducted. A systematic search in MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CENTRAL, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and other resources will be conducted. Primary studies, in any language or public...
Positive end-expiratory pressure generated in the airway by HFNC could impair the proper swallowing performance. Knowing the methodological characteristics, the instruments or scales used to assess th...

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of canalicular laceration repair using a novel bicanalicular silicone tube....
Retrospective and consecutive patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair using novel Runshi-RS bicanalicular silicone stents from January 2020 to February 2021 were included. The stent was p...
This study included 43 patients with canalicular laceration. The median age was 43 years (3-75 years). The average duration of stent implantation was 12.9 weeks, and the follow-up time was 8.8 months....
Runshi-RS bicanalicular silicone stent achieved good anatomical (100%) as well as functional (90.7%) success and good cosmetic results (100%) in patients with canalicular laceration repair....
To determine whether a custom laryngectomy tube can improve airway symptoms in total laryngectomy patients with atypical anatomy who are unable to use commercial laryngectomy tubes. Furthermore, to ex...
A custom-fabricated laryngectomy tube, manufactured at in-house clinical engineering labs, was utilized for each patient following typical laryngectomy tube protocols. All participants had previously ...
For all patients involved, there were no further airway obstruction complications or events, and they reported a subjective, significant improvement in comfort after placement of the custom laryngecto...
Custom laryngectomy tubes can provide patients with atypical anatomy relief from airway obstructions and improve comfort when commercial options fail to address the anatomic restriction. The process u...
