Corneal incision of phacoemulsification cataract surgery can affect corneal wavefront aberration. The 12 o'clock corneal incision eliminated more HOAs and the spherical aberrations decreased in BENT incision group obviously when we selected steep meridian small incision. Cataract lens replacement using wavefront-corrected intraocular lens combined with optimized corneal incision site would improve ocular aberration results.
Complete placenta previa is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and fetuses. This study aimed to evaluate whether prophylactic uterine artery embolization (PUAE) could reduce bleeding in patients with complete placenta previa. We retrospectively analyzed patients with complete placenta previa admitted to Taixing People's Hospital for elective cesarean delivery between January 2019 and December 2020. The women were treated with PUAE (PUAE group, n = 20) or without (control group, control, n = 20). Risk factors for bleeding (age, gestational age, pregnancy times, delivery times, cesarean delivery times), intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin difference before and after surgery, transfusions volume, hysterectomy cases, major maternal complication cases, neonatal birth weight, neonatal Apgar score in 1 minute, postoperative hospitalization time were compared between 2 groups. There were no significant differences on risk factors for bleeding, neonatal birth weight, neonatal Apgar score in 1 minute, postoperative hospitalization time between 2 groups. However, the intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin before and after operation, transfusion volume in the PUAE group was significantly lower than the control. There was no case of hysterectomy or major maternal complications in both groups. PUAE during cesarean may be an effective and safe strategy to reduce intraoperative blood loss and transfusion volume for patients with complete placenta previa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
