Primary repair of a delayed presentation thoracic oesophageal gunshot injury: A report of two cases☆
Thoracic oesophageal gunshot injuries are uncommon, and the morbidity and mortality rates are extremely high and depend on the elapsed time, injury severity, and concomitant organ damage. Thus, early diagnosis is paramount to avoid delays, which in turn confer poorer outcomes. Current management strategies are still controversial and depend on the patient's physiologic state. We experienced two cases of thoracic oesophageal gunshot injury, both of whom were treated by primary repair and were successfully discharged. Decision-making strategies should be based on the patient's physiologic reserve, experience of the attending surgical team, and ancillary services available at the facility.
Objectives To study the effect of trabeculectomy with releasable sutures and postoperative cares. Method 130(184 eyes) glaucoma patients were treated with trabeculectomy with releasable sutures. Postoperative, we observed IOP and anterior chamber deep once a day in two weeks. Result The rate of shaltow anterior chamber is only 6.52% . Conclusion Trabeculectomy with releasable sutures is useful to reduce the rate of shallow anterior chamber afteroperative.
