Quantitative Analysis of Choroidal Vascular Remodeling after Cataract Surgery: Correlation with Preoperative Lens Opacity Grading.

Background: Cataract surgery has been shown to induce choroidal remodeling, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between preoperative lens opacity and postoperative changes in choroidal vascularity following phacoemulsification.

Methods: This prospective study included 46 eyes from 46 patients undergoing routine cataract surgery.

Distal Pancreatectomy: Extent of Resection Determines Surgical Risk Categories.

Background: Recently, subclassification of pancreatoduodenectomy in 4 differing types has been reported, because additional major vascular and multivisceral resections have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Objective: To classify distal pancreatectomy (DP) based on the extent of resection and technical difficulty and to evaluate postoperative outcomes with regards to this classification system.

Methods: All consecutive patients who had undergone DP between 2001 and 2020 in a high-volume pancreatic surgery center were included in this study.
