The capsulotomy may also impact on the visual outcome.

Anterior capsulotomy was developed in Sweden, where it became the most frequently used procedure.

Generally, a second procedure, a closed capsulotomy, in which a doctor manually breaks up scar tissue around the implant, resolves the problem.

Currently this procedure is replaced by YAG laser capsulotomy.

As with cataract surgery, it is important to weigh the risks and possible benefits of laser capsulotomy before deciding to have the surgery.

A capsulotomy (rarely known as cystotomy) is a procedure to open a portion of the lens capsule, using an instrument called a cystotome.

The ability to create a precise, well-centred capsulotomy should therefore optimize the surgeon's ability to achieve patient's visual outcome.

The most common types of psychosurgery in current or recent use are capsulotomy, cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy and limbic leucotomy.

Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is an outpatient procedure.

The most common complication of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is short-term increased pressure inside the eye.

In the early 2000s in Spain about 24 psychosurgical operations (capsulotomy, cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, and hypothalamotomy) a year were being performed.

If the cloudiness affects your vision, you may choose to have a laser surgery called Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy to correct this problem.

Closed capsulotomy (disrupting the capsule via external manipulation), a once-common maneuver for treating hard capsules, was discontinued because it might rupture the breast implant.

Freeman's particular form of psychosurgery, the lobotomy, was last used in the 1970s, but other forms of psychosurgery, such as the cingulotomy and capsulotomy have survived.

Retinal breaks and detachment after neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy: Five-year incidence in a prospective cohort.

There are four different psychosurgical techniques that have been in common use in recent years: anterior cingulotomy, subcaudate tractotomy, limbic leucotomy and anterior capsulotomy.

The correction of capsular contracture might require an open capsulotomy (surgical release) of the collagen-fiber capsule, or the removal, and possible replacement, of the breast implant.

These include the creation of the initial surgical incisions in the cornea, the creation of the capsulotomy, and the initial fragmenting (breaking up) of the lens.

An irregularly-shaped capsulotomy may influence the position of the implanted IOL leading to decentration and tilt leading to a decrease in the patient's quality of vision.

Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy reduces glare and improves vision, allowing light to pass through cloudy regions of the lens capsule that may develop after cataract surgery.

Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is not used to prevent clouding of the back lining of the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification).

These techniques included William Beecher Scoville's orbital undercutting, Jean Talairach's anterior capsulotomy, and Hugh Cairn's bilateral cingulotomy.

Cingulotomy and capsulotomy for depression and OCD continue to be used, for example at the BSES MG Hospital in Mumbai.

It usually is a quick outpatient procedure that uses a Nd-YAG laser (neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet) to disrupt and clear the central portion of the opacified posterior lens capsule (posterior capsulotomy).

Management involves cutting a small, circular area in the posterior capsule with targeted beams of energy from a laser, a procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy, after the type of laser used.
