Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Expulsive hemorrhage is a serious complication in ophthalmic surgery.
  • Current methods may not allow for immediate management of this complication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel trepanation technique that facilitates rapid management of expulsive hemorrhage.
  • To ensure no interference with subsequent intraocular procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A simple trepanation technique is performed.
  • The host corneal button is excised, leaving a 1 clock hour tissue hinge.
  • The hinged button is folded away from the surgical field.

Main Results:

  • The technique allows the corneal button to be moved aside without obstructing intraocular procedures.

  • The corneal button can be swiftly repositioned to close the wound if expulsive hemorrhage occurs.

    • Conclusions:

    • This trepanation technique provides a method for proactive management of expulsive hemorrhage.
    • The described approach simplifies wound closure during expulsive hemorrhage events.
