In situ intraocular suture techniques for pupilloplasty and suspension of a subluxated intraocular lens

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2010 Mar-Apr;41(2):266-71. doi: 10.3928/15428877-20100303-18.

Abstract

The modified McCannel and Siepser techniques allow surgeons to create a locking knot at the extraocular space to maintain a closed chamber. The authors demonstrate that this method made the pupilloplasty easy and applied it to suspend a subluxated intraocular lens with scleral fixation of haptics.
