    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Suture preplacement in cataract surgery grooves is a common surgical technique.
    • Existing methods for groove creation may lack precision or ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel instrument for creating surgical grooves in cataract surgery.
    • To enhance the precision and efficiency of suture preplacement during cataract procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified corneal trephine was developed as a surgical groove-creating instrument.
    • The instrument allows for adjustable groove depth.

    Main Results:

    • The instrument facilitates the neat and smooth creation of surgical grooves.
    • It offers adjustable depth control for tailored surgical applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified corneal trephine is an effective tool for cataract surgery groove creation.
    • This instrument can improve the accuracy and consistency of suture preplacement.
