Seenu Hariprasad MD

Show Description +

Seenu Hariprasad, MD, presents a case of a 23-gauge microincisional vitrectomy surgery to manage a dislocated transsceral IOL in the presence of a posterior capsular tear. The technique involved a combination of three-port MIVS with a limbalbased partial thickness scleral flap to refixate the subluxed lens haptic.

Dear Dr.Seenu

Do you try to rotate the knot into the eye? I find that about half the time I can. In this case, where the path of the suture is clean, I imagine the knot would rotate most of the time. Nice video.

Hi Hosam and Scohen: Excellent insights. I don't rotate the knots as I have found this difficult to do and may cause the lens to move or cause the suture to break. However, if this can be done easily, I see no harm...

Hi Seenu, no I was referring to the sutereless intrascleral fixation technique, here is the link to the eyetube video http://www.eyetube.net/videos/default.asp?lilese

Great case. Now we can wait a few more years and do it again when the suture breaks. Also I agree with the above comment.

Hi ZMario: Is 'partial thickness scleral flap' described in this case the same as 'intraescleral fixation' that you refer to?

great case but I would have done an intraescleral fixation, a most definite solution
