Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cataract surgery traditionally requires wound closure and IOP management.
  • Existing methods may involve sutures or have limitations in IOP control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a new small incision cataract surgery technique.
  • To assess the efficacy of sutureless wound closure and IOP regulation using a fistulating aperture.

Main Methods:

  • A novel surgical approach involving small incision cataract surgery.
  • Sutureless wound closure utilizing a fistulating aperture.
  • In-the-bag posterior chamber intraocular lens (pcIOL) implantation.
  • Creation of a triangular opening in the posterior scleral valve combined with peripheral iridectomy.

Main Results:

  • Successful sutureless wound closure was achieved in the majority of cases.
  • Effective regularization of intraocular pressure (IOP) was observed.
  • Good visual results were obtained in most of the 61 operated eyes.

Conclusions:

  • The presented technique allows for sutureless wound closure in small incision cataract surgery.
  • The method effectively regulates IOP and provides good visual outcomes.
  • This approach offers a promising alternative for cataract surgery with simplified wound management.
