Show Description +
Dr. K.V. Ravi Kumar demonstrates the repair of an iridodialysis using a suture technique based on the principles of a sewing machine. Suture loops are threaded through a 26-gauge needle, which is then passed through the iris from inside out.
This video was awarded Best Video in cataract complications and challenging cases category in 26th APACRS singapore 2013, presented in APOS 2013, AIOC 2014, ASIA ARVO 2013, VAO 2014, ESCRS 2014 LONDON, PUBLISHED IN DJO ACCEPTED FOR VIDEO JOURNAL OF CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGERY.
This technique is developed as part of clinical research for low cost vision restoration procedures in Rotary Eye Hospital, vuyyuru Andhra pradesh India.

I would like to comment that I reported this exact method in 1995 for an article I wrote in Ophthalmology Times. "Sewing Machine-Style for Iridodialysis Repair by Steven G. Safran MD. It is a useful method for iris repair and IOL suturing and one tool in the toolbox that's good to have. Not a new method however.

perhaps a figure of 8 knot placed on the proximal suture end. instead of cutting the loops perhaps passing the proximal end through the loops and tying it at the distal edge wold simplify the technique. appears to be a viable technique. Thank you for sharing your insight/technique
