Seven eyes of 7 patients had undergone modified Schocketimplant surgery for neovascular glaucoma. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP) was 49.1 +/- 10.1 mmHg(range 38 to 70 mmHg). With a follow up of 6 to 18 monnths, the mean postoperative IOP was 20.3+/-5.1 mmHg(range 16 to 30 mmHg). The author's personal method to make two oblique valve incisions on the obliterated distal end of the draining silicone tube, prevented early postoperative complications(flat anterior chamber and hypo-tony). The one oblique incision on silicone tube turned into a open valve at a pressure between 17.3 and 21.6 mmHg(average 19.3 mmHg) and two oblique incisions opened at a oblique incisions seemed to be more available for pressure sensitive valve. The complications included minimal hyphema(4 eyes) and progression of cataract(1 eye). Modified Schocket implant are an effective and simple technique in the management of neovascular glaucoma.

Local anesthesia for arthroscopic procedure of the knee is an increasinglv popular technique that avoids the use of general anesthesia and the associated risks of respiratory depression, aspiration, and postoperative sedation. Many authors, for example McGinty etc., Martin, Yoshiya etc., advocated local anesthesia as safe and efficient method for arthroscopic procedures of the knee. We performed arthoroscopy of the knee under local anesthesia on 150 patients for diagnostic and operative purposes between January l993 and December l996. The technique of local anesthesia that we used was that 20cc of 0.5%; bupivacaine with I:200,000 epinephrine was injected into superolateral portal of the knee joint and additional 10-20cc ot 1% lidocaine into the arthroscopic portals. Pnevmatic tourniquet wa, not applied in all cases. We analysed the 150 cases and the results were as follows; The diagnostic arthroscopy was performed in 50 cases and the operative arthroscopy was in 100 cases. The duration ot local anethesia was from 4 hours to 12 hours, with an average of 6 hours. In 35 cases arthroscopy was performed as outpatient procedure and average hospital stay excluding other problem was 5 days. No complication related to systemic toxicity by local anesthetics was observed. Conclusively arthroscopy of the knee under local anesthesia is safe and effective procedure to avoid the risks of general anesthesia but patients selection is very important.

Cystadenomas are benign neoplasm in which the epithelium demonstrates adenomatous proliferation. Several morphologic variants of cystadenomas have bean described, including papillary-oncocytic, mucous, and seromucous subtypes. Cystadenomas arising from salivary glands are very rare and seromucous cystadenoma of parotid gland has not been reported in Korea so far. Cystadenomas of the parotid gland usually Present as asymptomatic slowly growing mass and those of the minor salivary glands produce smooth nodules that may be compressible. We performed a superficial parotidectomy in a patient with a seromucous cystadenoma. This may be the first report of seromucous cystadenoma of carotid gland in Korea.
