A minimally invasive surgical technique to correct the double vision and crossed eyes in people with strabismus — performed under topical anesthesia with the patient awake — enables a patient to gauge the results while still in the operating room so that the surgeon can make any adjustments as necessary to ensure the best outcome.
The approach, pioneered for the last several years by Joseph Demer, M.D., Ph.D., ophthalmologist at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute, has significantly expanded the number of people with strabismus who can benefit from surgery, not only by offering a procedure without the risks of general anesthesia, but also by facilitating surgical treatment for patients with smaller angles of strabismus than in the past.
Strabismus, in which the eyes fail to line up in the same direction when focusing, is the major cause of double vision in older adults. Until now, patients with strabismus at a large enough angle have been treated with surgery under general anesthesia to manipulate the eye muscles in an effort to correct the problem. Since the result couldn’t be determined until the patient was awake, a second procedure was often required in an effort to achieve the desired outcome.
Patients with small-angle strabismus, or whose general health makes them poor candidates for major surgery, have used thick and cumbersome prismatic glasses to manage their symptoms. “These glasses are sometimes effective, and sometimes not,” Dr. Demer notes. “But even when they do help, the ability to free patients from being dependent on prisms — especially since many have had cataract and laser surgery so that they don’t need spectacles other than for their double vision — is a major benefit.”
The traditional surgical methods tended to “overshoot” the correction for patients with small angles of displacement, essentially giving them double vision in the other direction, Dr. Demer explains. With the minimally invasive procedure, instead of detaching the eye muscle completely, the surgeon can partially trim the tendons of the muscle, allowing the remaining tendons to stretch so that smaller angles of misalignment can be treated more reliably. All of this is done in 15-20 minutes, without the grogginess and bandages that come with general anesthesia. “It’s like getting a filling at the dentist — you can go right back to your normal activities later that day.”
“Many adult patients with double vision have been told that surgery is not an option,” Dr. Demer adds, “but with this minimally invasive approach they are now candidates.”

Healthcare Heroes Episode 1009.1: During surgery to remove two brain tumors from Patricia Reed, neurosurgeon Meg Verrees determined the second tumor would require a specialized surgery. Because of the second tumors location, Dr. Verrees needed the patient awake during part of the surgery as the tumor was beneath the area of the brain that controls speaking and walking. Patricia Reed helped the surgeon by talking during parts of the surgery so Dr. Verrees could make sure she did not operate in areas that would affect Patricias speech or ambulatory abilities. After a successful surgery by Dr. Verrees and her special team of clinicians, Patricia spent awhile recuperating in the hospital and went home to recover and rehabilitate.

Dunno about that, but one of the most frightening things *I* ever heard was my urologist saying "Oops!" in the middle of performing my vasectomy (true story!)
OR-Live.com broadcast December 13th @ 6:00 PM CST from Trinity Mother Frances Neuroscience Institute, Tyler, TX
On December 13 at 6 p.m. Central Time, Trinity Mother Frances will host a live webcast of a neurosurgical procedure during which a pituitary brain tumor will be removed through a patient’s nasal cavity. Sabatino Bianco, MD, a Trinity Clinic neurosurgeon and the Director of the Trinity Mother Frances Neuroscience Institute, will perform an endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy (ETH), which eliminates the need for incisions and removal of the nasal septum and/or nasal turbinates.
Victor Williams, MD, also a Trinity Clinic neurosurgeon, will serve as moderator of the webcast.
“This technique is offered by very few neuroscience centers in the world,” said Dr. Bianco. “In order to perform this operation, a neurosurgeon must go through a long learning curve and have access to specialized endoscopic instrumentation and navigational system technology. The pain, recovery time and travel have all been reduced for our patients. We are very excited.”
