Ophthalmology surgical teams can now extract large intraocular foreign bodies using a novel lasso technique. This method, utilizing a simple needle and silk suture, offers a safe and effective solution for complex eye injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Penetrating ocular trauma with posterior segment foreign bodies poses significant visual threats.
  • Standard extraction equipment is often insufficient for large or deeply embedded intraocular foreign bodies.
  • Prompt and effective management is critical to preserve vision in severe eye injuries.

Observation:

  • A case is presented of a 38-year-old male with a large foreign body incarcerated in the retina following penetrating ocular trauma.
  • Conventional surgical forceps were inadequate for the extraction of this voluminous intraocular foreign body.
  • A novel extraction device was fashioned using an intramuscular needle and 7/0 virgin silk suture.

Findings:

  • The custom-assembled needle-and-silk lasso successfully extracted the large foreign body from the retina.

  • The technique provided a secure and non-traumatic grasp on the voluminous foreign object.
  • This method proved effective in managing a challenging case of intraocular foreign body retention.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a valuable, easily reproducible method for managing large intraocular foreign bodies.
    • The lasso device presents a potentially less traumatic and more effective alternative to standard extraction tools.
    • Further adoption could improve surgical outcomes for patients with severe penetrating eye injuries.
