The Ye's Swing Technique offers a new approach to small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery. This modified method successfully removes lenticules, even thin ones, improving safety and efficacy in refractive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Corneal Surgery

Background:

  • Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a common refractive surgery.
  • Lenticule separation and removal can be challenging during SMILE.
  • Complications include extraction difficulties, lenticule rupture, and residual fragments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the Ye's Swing Technique, a novel approach for SMILE surgery.
  • To address intraoperative challenges in lenticule extraction.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the technique, particularly for thin lenticules.

Main Methods:

  • The Ye's Swing Technique preserves an unseparated peripheral edge on the posterior lenticule surface.
  • A study included 490 eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism.

  • Lenticule thicknesses ranged from 52-148 µm, with 38.6% considered thin.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete dissection and removal of the stromal lenticule were achieved in all participants.
    • No incidence of incision margin tearing was reported.
    • The safety index was 1.06 ± 0.12 and the efficacy index was 1.11 ± 0.13 at 1 week postoperatively.

    Conclusions:

    • The Ye's Swing Technique is a safe and effective modification for SMILE surgery.
    • The technique demonstrates successful outcomes even with thinner lenticules.
    • It offers a potential solution for improving lenticule extraction in SMILE procedures.
