In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has found its way into many operating rooms, and gynaecologic cancer surgery is no exception. With robotic surgery, surgical complications are reduced and a better recovery of the patient is achieved. However, there are different possible approaches to perform these interventions. Now, for the first time, a study explores the differences between all of…
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE? It involves complete resection of a tumoral lesion located in the intraocular space. The advantage is that it completely removes the tumour and, in addition, it allows us to analyse its cell pattern in the laboratory, unlike other destructive techniques such as radiotherapy. These surgical procedures are highly specialised. WHAT ARE ITS INDICATIONS? Currently, due…
WHAT IS IT? A macular hole is the name for the formation of a break in the centre of the retina, the area which call the macula.

What are they? The retina is a sensitive tissue of the eye containing a multitude of blood vessels. These vessels may grow and proliferate anomalously, be it from birth or acquired, leading to different vascular tumours of the retina. TYPES There are four types: Capillary hemangioblastoma (which is occasionally associated with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome). Cavernous hemangioma. Vasoproliferative proliferal tumours. Racemose…
Хирургические методы постоянно развиваются и совершенствуются, что позволяет улучшать результаты лечения и минимизировать последствия операций. Для снижения негативных проявлений после хирургического вмешательства доктора стремятся, насколько возможно, сократить размер разрезов, а в идеале – использовать естественные отверстия в организме пациента. Методика Тотального трансанального мезоректального иссечения (TaTME), разработанная командой доктора Антонио де Ласи / Dr. Antonio de Lacy, главы службы хирургии желудочно-кишечного…
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE? It’s a surgical procedure for the treatment of glaucoma that involves inserting a tube to connect the intraocular tube with a device (that may or may not have a valve) located below the conjunctiva to drain the aqueous humour from the eye. WHEN IS THIS TREATMENT INDICATED? Generally, it is used for glaucoma where other…
“A pachymetry is a simple, quick, and painless examination used to measure the thickness of the cornea” It has different applications in daily clinical practice, such a complimentary examination in glaucoma, to determine potential refractive surgery or even to diagnose certain diseases of the cornea. Within the scope of glaucoma, we should be aware that the thickness of the cornea…
