Background: The purpose of the study is to compare the visual outcomes and complications of sutured scleral fixation (SSF), a traditional and conservative surgical approach, and the newer and faster Yamane technique for secondary intraocular lens placement. Methods: A literature search was performed on PubMed, Embase, and Scopus on studies published between 1 July 2017 to 29 September 2023. Outcomes analyzed included the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between 3 and 12 months to assess the effectiveness of the procedure, post-operative month (POM) 1 BCVA to assess the speed of visual recovery, endothelial cell count (ECC), absolute refractive error, surgical duration, and complication rates. Additional subgroup analyses were performed based on surgeon experience with the technique. Single-surgeon studies had an average of 26 procedures performed, whereas multiple-surgeon studies averaged only 9 procedures performed; these were then used to delineate surgeon experience. A sample-size weighted mean difference (MD) meta-analysis was performed across all variables using RevMan 5.4.1; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Thirteen studies with 737 eyes were included: 406 eyes were included in the SSF group, and 331 eyes were included in the Yamane group. There was no significant difference in the final BCVA between groups in both the single-surgeon versus multiple-surgeon studies (MD = −0.01, 95% CI: [−0.06, 0.04], p = 0.73). In the single-surgeon studies, the BCVA at POM1 was significantly improved in the Yamane group compared to SSF (MD = −0.10, 95% CI: [−0.16, −0.04], p = 0.002). In the multiple-surgeon studies, there was no significant difference in BCVA at POM1 (MD = −0.06, 95% CI: [−0.16, 0.04], p = 0.23). The Yamane group had a shorter surgical duration than SSF in both single-surgeon and multiple-surgeon studies (MD = −24.68, 95% CI: [−35.90, −13.46], p < 0.0001). The ECC, refractive error, and complication rates did not significantly differ amongst all groups. Conclusions: The Yamane technique demonstrated similar long-term visual outcomes and complication rates to the traditional SSF. Visual recovery was significantly faster in the Yamane group in the single-surgeon studies. The operative times were shorter across all Yamane groups. Based on these findings, it is advisable to consider the Yamane technique as a viable, and perhaps preferable, option for patients requiring secondary IOL placement, alongside traditional SSF methods.

Tetracyclines are a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics favored by dermatologists. Over the last decade, the clinical efficacy of tetracyclines has expanded into various dermatoses. This review tries to encompass the possible indications of tetracycline in the field of dermatology and possible mechanisms of action. This comprehensive review encompasses all possible indications of tetracyclines besides acne vulgaris and rosacea: hidradenitis suppurativa, autoimmune bullous dermatoses, vitiligo, alopecia, prurigo pigmentosa, granulomatous dermatoses, Kaposi sarcoma, cold urticaria, atopic dermatitis, scrub typhus, scarring, and miscellaneous dermatoses. We also focus on the recently approved sarecycline, a third generation narrow-spectrum tetracycline, and its clinical efficacy and potential impact on the microbiome. Our review provides a better understanding of this extremely familiar drug class and encourages its use in a wider spectrum of dermatologic diseases and symptoms.
