Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) replacement strategies and gene-based therapy are considered for several retinal degenerative conditions. For clinical translation, large eye animal models are required to study surgical techniques applicable in patients. Here we present a rabbit model for subretinal surgery geared towards RPE transplantation, which is versatile and cost-efficient.

Tools used for visualizing vascular regeneration require methods for contrasting the vascular trees. This film demonstrated a delicate injection technique used to achieve optimal contrasting of the vascular trees and illustrate the potential benefits resulting from a detailed analysis of the resulting specimen using µCT and histological serial sections.

Mechanically isolated stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in combination with a fibrin hydrogel offers an easy and efficient carrier for viable adipose-derived stromal cells for various indications, including tissue engineering and or wound healing purposes. Here, we present the preparation of a mechanical SVF (mSVF)-fibrin hydrogel construct for translational research and clinical application.
FAQs
Preoperative imaging supplies information used with risk assessment to plan the intervention before vessel exposure. It helps the team coordinate the intended repair or revascularization with the affected arterial or venous disorder and anticipate the operative sequence. This preparation supports consistent decision-making and improves communication among team members before treatment begins.
Proximal and distal control organize how the surgical team manages the vessel around the treatment site. Within a vascular surgery protocol, these steps precede repair or revascularization and create a structured transition from vessel exposure to correction of the disorder. Their inclusion makes the operative sequence reproducible and supports coordinated performance across the team.
The protocol adapts its evaluation, treatment, and monitoring steps to the clinical problem, such as an aneurysm, arterial occlusion, or vascular trauma. Although the framework remains structured, the selected repair or revascularization approach and subsequent surveillance depend on the condition being managed. This allows standardized care without treating every vascular disorder identically.
The sequence begins with preoperative imaging and risk assessment, followed by vessel exposure, proximal and distal control, and repair or revascularization when indicated. Postoperative surveillance then assesses the patient for bleeding, thrombosis, or impaired perfusion. Organizing care in this order gives the team a common workflow for planning, treatment, and follow-up.
Postoperative surveillance focuses on bleeding, thrombosis, and impaired perfusion. These findings can indicate that recovery is not proceeding as intended after vascular treatment. Including surveillance as a defined part of the protocol promotes timely recognition of complications rather than ending the care pathway when the repair or revascularization is completed.
Vascular surgery protocols support procedures for aneurysm repair, arterial occlusion, and vascular trauma. Beyond direct patient care, their standardized decisions and communication provide a reproducible basis for clinical training and research. Consistent workflows help teams compare procedural planning and monitoring practices while supporting safer coordination during complex vascular interventions.
