Modified transscleral suture for sulcus fixation of posterior chamber lenses

Abstract: We describe a modified technique to minimize the risk of hypotony during the placement of transscleral anchoring sutures. An anchor thread is used to transsclerally fixate a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL is placed precisely and without trauma. The technique was used in 17 patients. Postoperatively, all IOLs were well centered. Visual acuity increased from a preoperative mean of 0.25 to a postoperative mean of 0.40. The mean postoperative refraction was -0.75 diopter (D) (range +0.50 to -4.5… Show more

“…Different techniques of transscleral suturing of posterior chamber IOLs have played an important role in the visual rehabilitation of aphakic eyes lacking capsule support [7]. A disadvantage of ab-interno technique is that during penetration, with the needle tip obscured by the iris, the direction of the needle and penetrating site are sometimes difficult to control [10].…”

“…Also, breakage of the polypropylene sutures is the most common late postoperative complication necessitating a reoperation [6]. Minimally traumatic surgery and stable IOL placement are imperative for good functional and anatomic results [7]. …”

“…Numerous transsclerally sutured PC IOL implantation techniques have been described. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] At present, the general approach is to implant a large-diameter optic (6.5 mm or 7.0 mm), single-piece PMMA IOL with modified C-shaped haptics and overall haptic length of 12.5 to 13.5 mm in the ciliary sulcus. Ab externo (outside-in) approaches have the advantage of passing the suture through the scleral wall while the eye is still firm, producing better visual acuity results and fewer complications.…”

“…Das operative Vorgehen der skleranahtfixierten IOL erfolgte mittels modifizierter transskleraler Nahtfixation nach Beschreibung von Schmidt et al [8]. Ausgangssituation der skleranahtfixierten IOL waren wie folgt: in 7 Fallen aufgrund eines Kapseldefektes im Rahmen einer Kataraktoperation, in 2 Fallen aufgrund einer Silikonoltamponade nach Ablatiooperation, 2 Augen nach perforierender Bulbusverletzung, in 2 Fallen subluxierte Linse nach Bulbuskontusion, in 2 Fallen subluxierte Linse im Rahmen eines Marfan-Syndroms and in 2 weiteren Fallen herrschte eine Aphakiesituation vor, nachdem Jahre zuvor eine Kataraktoperation mit intrakapsularer Technik erfolgte.…”

“…Die modifizierte Technik der skleranahtfixierten IOL [8] stellt fur uns eine geeignete Methode dar, eine intraokulare Korrektur einer Aphakie zu erreichen. Aus vitreoretinaler Sicht muss aber die in Richtung der Enklavationsrichtung reduzierte postoperative Pupillenweite and der geringere Optikdurchmesser mitberucksichtigt werden.…”
