Maintaining clear transpupillary access is vital for phacoemulsification, particularly with weak zonules. This study presents an iris retraction technique using the Malyugin ring as a safe and effective mechanical alternative.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Phacoemulsification requires adequate lens access, challenging in cases of zonular weakness or capsular defects.
  • Pharmacological pupil dilation is often insufficient, necessitating mechanical approaches.
  • Existing mechanical methods carry substantial risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate an iris retraction technique utilizing the Malyugin ring.
  • To demonstrate the advantages of this technique for achieving transpupillary access.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a novel iris retraction technique employing the Malyugin ring.
  • Application of the technique during phacoemulsification procedures.

Main Results:

  • The Malyugin ring technique provides effective iris retraction.

  • This method offers a safer alternative to other mechanical approaches.
  • Facilitates improved transpupillary access for lens procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Malyugin ring iris retraction technique is a valuable tool for enhancing safety and efficacy in phacoemulsification.
    • It presents a favorable risk-benefit profile compared to existing mechanical methods.
