Carpal tunnel decompression with transverse carpal ligament transection is a very successful treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The standard long-curved incision technique has become the best treatment for median nerve entrapment decompression. Here we introduce the metacarpal small incision carpal tunnel release (MSICTR) in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Subretinal injection has been widely applied in preclinical studies of stem cell replacement therapy for age-related macular degeneration. In this visualized article, we describe a less risky, reproducible and precisely modified subretinal injection technique via the trans-scleral approach to deliver cells into rat eyes.

Ye's Swing Technique for Small-incision Lenticule Extraction Surgery
0 Views •
2025
We introduced an optimized surgical approach for small incision lenticule extraction, termed the Ye's Swing Technique. This technique enables the surgeon to perform lenticule separation and extraction more easily while minimizing the risk of incision-edge tears and lenticule fragmentation. The results of this study proved its safety and efficacy.
FAQs
These variables determine how access is established while preserving the eye’s structural support. A carefully managed location places the entry where internal ocular structures can be reached, while appropriate size and depth help limit unnecessary tissue disruption. Together, they balance instrument access with tissue stability and reduce the risk of fluid leakage.
Specialized microsurgical instruments allow the surgeon to create and use the entry with precision. Their role is especially important because the sclera is a tough outer coat, yet the incision must remain controlled enough to provide access to internal structures. Precision supports vitreoretinal tasks while helping preserve ocular integrity.
Closure is critical because it helps restore a stable ocular barrier after instruments leave the eye. Effective management of the incision supports ocular integrity and helps prevent fluid leakage. Subsequent healing also matters for limiting complications and supporting visual recovery, making postoperative tissue response part of the procedure’s overall success.
At the procedural level, the surgeon creates a controlled opening, introduces instruments to reach the vitreous cavity, performs the intended vitreoretinal task, and then closes the entry. Managing these stages as a connected process matters because access alone is not sufficient; the incision must also be sealed to maintain ocular integrity.
Vitreoretinal surgery is the main application identified in the source material. In that setting, instruments pass through the scleral entry to reach the vitreous cavity, where surgeons may remove abnormal tissue or repair retinal damage. The incision therefore functions as an access route that enables treatment of internal ocular problems rather than serving as the treatment itself.
Successful management depends on more than whether instruments can enter the eye. The incision must remain compatible with tissue stability, avoid problematic fluid leakage, and heal appropriately after closure. These factors influence ocular integrity, complication prevention, and the possibility of visual recovery, linking microsurgical technique with the patient’s postoperative outcome.
