Suturing a Tear of the Anterior Capsulorhexis
Kleinmann G
Tel Aviv (Israel)
Purpose: To describe a new technique of suturing a tear in the
anterior capsulorhexis. Methods: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis
(CCC) with lens removal was done in 5 fresh cadaver eyes. The
diameter of the CCC was measured with a caliper. Using the same
caliper a tear of the CCC was created while opening the caliper’s
arms. The distance between the caliper’s arms needed to tear the
CCC was documented. Using 9 – 0 Ethilon 9011, CS 160 – 6 sutures
(Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ) in 2 eyes, 9 – 0 Prolene, D-8229, CTC-6L
sutures (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ) in 2 eyes and 10 – 0 Prolene,
9090, CTC-6 suture (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ) in one eye, the
tears were sutured. A Tear in the CCC was created again in the same
way as the first tear. The distance between the caliper’s arms needed
to tear the CCC was documented again. Results: Suturing of the tear
restored some of the strength/elasticity of the CCC. Better results
were found while using the 9 – 0 Prolene, D-8229, CTC-6L sutures
comparing to the 2 others sutures. Conclusions: Suturing of a broken
CCC can restore at least some of the strength/elasticity of the
CCC. This can be important before intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
for the safety of the implantation or after the implantation to
ensure proper fixation of the IOL.
