    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Cataract extraction requires precise incisions and secure wound closure.
    • Traditional methods may present challenges in achieving optimal apposition and safety.
    • Preplaced sutures offer potential benefits for wound management in ophthalmic surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical technique for cataract extraction.
    • To integrate the benefits of a cleanedged Graefe-knife incision with preplaced sutures.
    • To enhance safety and achieve near-perfect wound apposition during cataract surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a cleanedged Graefe-knife for precise corneal incision.
    • Employed uncuttable preplaced 2-mm stainless steel sutures.
    • Replaced stainless steel sutures with attached braided silk for final wound closure post-incision.

    Main Results:

    • The technique successfully combined precise incision with secure suture apposition.
    • Demonstrated a method for safe and effective wound closure in cataract surgery.
    • Achieved near-perfect tissue apposition, crucial for healing and visual outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a safe and effective approach to cataract extraction.
    • It successfully merges the advantages of specialized incisions and secure suturing.
    • This method represents a valuable advancement in ophthalmic surgical procedures.
