Abstract

The difficulties of tracheal intubation are mainly encountered in facial surgery and E.N.T. surgery, but they may nevertheless, occur in any form of surgery. The indications for nasal intubation, without visible glottis, the problems raised and the means of solving them, whilst respecting safety precautions, are briefly recalled.

Histologic study of healing after ab interno laser sclerostomy.

We examined the histologic characteristics of healing after ab interno laser sclerostomy in a human eye. A KTP 532 green laser coupled to a 300-microns quartz fiberoptic probe was used to create an ab interno sclerostomy in a terminally ill patient with pigmentary glaucoma. The intraocular pressure increased five days postoperatively and did not respond to medical treatment. The patient died six weeks postoperatively of metastatic lung cancer. Histopathologic analysis showed a patent 150-microns scleral lumen from the anterior chamber to the episclera, surrounded by a 300-microns zone of acellular thermal damage. There was no healing of the lumen. The subconjunctival end of the lumen was capped with a thick episcleral scar, which caused the failure of the operation.

Unsuccessful excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy. Clinicopathologic correlation.

A 46-year-old man underwent phototherapeutic keratectomy with a 193-nm excimer laser in an attempt to remove a superficial corneal scar that had been present for 36 years. The scar proved to be resistant to ablation with the laser, while relatively normal stroma was easily ablated. Histopathologic examination of the corneal button removed 3 months after excimer laser surgery revealed absence of Bowman's membrane in the area of ablation, superficial stromal disorganization and scarring, raised nodules of collagenous tissue extending into the epithelium, and no calcification within the lesion. Ultrastructural examination was remarkable for irregularly oriented collagen fibers within the scar. The resistance of this lesion to excimer laser ablation appears to have been the consequence of marked differences in rates of ablation between normal stroma and the very long-standing scar.
