430 Background: Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) or carcinoids of the ampulla are exceedingly rare in comparison to duodenal NET. Surgical management is widely accepted as the treatment of choice, but for patients that refuse surgery or are poor operative candidates, endoscopic resection may be option. We present a consecutive case series at a tertiary care center describing our experience with endoscopic resection of ampullary NET. Methods: This is a restrospective review with a long-term follow-up of patients with ampullary NET that were endoscopically resected. Outcomes were analyzed based on the histopathologic classification system proposed by the World Health Organization in 2000. Results: Twelve patients (9 male, 3 female), ranging in age from 41 to 86 (mean 59) underwent endoscopic ampullectomy for ampullary NET, with a mean follow-up time of 5 years. Patients had refused surgery or were poor surgical candidates. All, but one incidentally found case, were symptomatic on presentation, with gastrointestinal bleeding being the main symptom. No patients had a hormonal syndrome. The mean size of the lesions was 21 mm (6 mm to 35 cm). Six (50%) patients had a well-differentiated, benign lesion, 6 (50%) patients had a well-differentiated NET with unknown malignant potential (gangliocytic paragangliomas). Eight (67%) were completely excised during the initial endoscopy with 4 requiring re-excision. Only 2 patients developed recurrence, after 2.5 and 10 years and this necessitated a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Five patients had complications (2 for bleeding and 3 for post-ERCP pancreatitis), with zero deaths. Conclusions: Unlike duodenal carcinoids, ampullary NET are rare. Pancreaticoduodenectomy can be offered to fit patients except for gangliocytic paragangliomas that do not require an aggressive operation. However, for those that refuse surgery or are poor candidates, endoscopic ampullectomy can be an option with acceptable short and long-term outcomes.

Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery

AIM: To update and investigate the clinical outcomes and complications between femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPCS). METHODS: A Meta-analysis was performed using databases, including Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane library. At least one of the clinical outcomes and/or complications data in each included randomized controlled trials (RCT) was reported. The quality of the RCT was assessed with the Cochrane risk assessments tool. RESULTS: Overall, 25 RCTs including 3781 eyes were included. No statistically significant difference detected between FLACS and CPCS in terms of corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distant visual acuity (UDVA), and central corneal thickness (CCT) at the long-term follow up, although FLACS showed better CDVA at 1wk postoperatively, and less increase in CCT at 1d and 1wk. FLACS had better postoperative endothelial cell count (ECC) at 1 and 4-6wk, while there was no significantly difference between FLACS and CPCS at 1d, 3 and 6mo [weighted mean difference (WMD): 51.54, 95% confidence interval (CI): -5.46 to 108.54, P=0.08; WMD: 48.52, 95%CI: -17.54 to 114.58, P=0.15; WMD: 12.17, 95%CI: -48.61 to 72.94, P=0.69, respectively]. Postoperative endothelial cell loss (ECL) of the FLACS was significantly lower than that of the CPCS at 1, 4-6wk, and 3mo (P=0.02, 0.008, 0.03, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between two groups at 6mo (WMD: -30.36, 95%CI: -78.84 to 18.12, P=0.22). No significant difference was discovered with respect to the macular edema [odds ratio (OR): 0.93, 95%CI: 0.42 to 2.05, P=0.85], capsular complication excluding posterior capsular tears (OR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.42 to 1.50, P=0.47) and intraocular pressure change (OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.39 to 1.72, P=0.60). However, posterior capsular tears were more common in CPCS group (OR: 0.12, 95%CI: 0.01 to 0.98, P=0.05). The effective phacoemulsification times were significantly lower in the FLACS group compared to the CPCS group (WMD: -0.78, 95%CI: -1.23 to -0.34, P=0.0006). CONCLUSION: No statistically significant difference is discovered between FLACS and CPCS in clinical outcomes at the long-term follow up. However, higher rate of posterior capsular tears is detected in patients receiving CPCS.

Excimer Laser Trabeculotomy

Abstract Background Excimer laser trabeculotomy (ELT) is a minimally invasive procedure to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) via a photo-ablative laser that is applied to the trabecular meshwork. With this procedure, it is possible to improve the outflow of the aqueous humor. Until now, a limited number of studies examining mostly relatively small sample sizes with midterm follow-up exist. We therefore present the analysis of a large ELT cohort in a long-term follow-up. Methods We recorded data from 580 patients who underwent ELT or combined ELT with cataract surgery at our institution from November 2000 until March 2011. A total of 512 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEX), and ocular hypertension (OHT) were included in the analysis. At every follow-up examination, the usage of IOP-lowering medication and the IOP were recorded. Failure criteria were defined as the need for another surgical glaucoma procedure, when the IOP was not 21 mmHg or less and a reduction of 20% from the baseline was not achieved with (qualified success) or without (absolute success) additional medication. Statistical analysis was done using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. Results Four hundred twenty-eight patients underwent combined cataract and ELT surgery, and 84 underwent solitary ELT surgery. After a median follow-up time of 656 days, 87% (combined surgery) and 66% (ELT) of the patients did not have to undergo another IOP-lowering intervention; 47/31% were classified as a qualified success and 31/11% as a complete success. The IOP-lowering medication, however, could not be significantly reduced within that time period. Conclusion Especially when combined with cataract surgery, ELT is a feasible minimally invasive procedure to lower the IOP on a mid- to long-term basis. Over the long term, however, IOP-lowering medication could not be reduced.
