    This study presents a microsurgical cataract extraction technique using a corneal incision and continuous nylon suture. The method demonstrated a very low complication rate in 1289 cases, proving safe and effective for cataract surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Microsurgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cataract extraction is a common surgical procedure.
    • Microsurgical techniques aim to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications.
    • Secure wound closure is crucial for successful cataract surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and evaluate a microsurgical technique for cataract extraction.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of using a corneal incision with continuous nylon suture.
    • To determine the complication rate associated with this specific surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A microsurgical technique for cataract extraction was employed.
    • Corneal incision and continuous 10-0 nylon suture were utilized for wound closure.

  • The technique was evaluated retrospectively on 1289 consecutively operated cases.

    • Main Results:

    • A very low overall complication rate was observed.
    • Anterior chamber hemorrhage occurred in 1% of cases.
    • Delayed anterior chamber reformation occurred in only two cases (0.15%).
    • No cases of iris prolapse were reported.
    • Intraocular pressure remained unaffected by the procedure.
    • Wound rupture post-suture removal occurred in 1% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The microsurgical technique utilizing a corneal incision and continuous nylon suture is associated with a low complication rate.
    • This method offers advantages such as reduced ocular irritation and secure wound closure.
    • The technique is deemed safe and effective for cataract extraction.
