Single suture customized loop for large iridodialysis repair.

ABSTRACT: Managing large iridodialysis that may occur during phacoemulsification is challenging. I describe how a procedure to reposit a prolapsed iris while the anterior chamber is markedly inflated by a current of infusion fluid may inadvertently lead to large iridodialysis, and discuss how to avoid such a complication. I describe a fast and efficient technique for managing large iridodialysis both immediately, once it occurs, or as a secondary maneuver. My technique involved fixing the iris periphery back to its root at the anterior chamber angle using 10-0 polypropylene suture with two straight needles introduced directly through the cornea at distant points, and an insulin syringe as a guide track to a point 1.5 mm from the limbus at the base of a triangular scleral flap that was designed to be centered on the area of iridodialysis. I confirmed the simplicity, efficacy, and safety of my technique through a 1-year follow-up period.

Subscapularis repair with the suture shuttle loop technique.

Project description:Successful techniques for arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tears have been previously described in the literature. Recommendations regarding portal placement, tissue mobilization, and suture passage have been published. We present a novel technique that uses a shuttle suture passed with the Viper suture passer (Arthrex, Naples, FL) through a standard anterior arthroscopy portal. The described technique easily passes a suture through the subscapularis tendon while the surgeon visualizes suture placement from the posterior portal.

Alternate iris bypass technique of iridodialysis repair.

Project description:We describe a novel technique "alternate iris bypass technique" of iridodialysis repair in four patients experiencing traumatic iridodialysis along with cataract. In these cases, we have combined iridodialysis repair with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. The main advantage of this technique is that edges of the iridodialysis can be visible till the end of the repair by bypassing the iris tissue in alternate bites which helps in minimizing the corectopia of the pupil and localized iris clumping.

A novel technique for closed-chamber iridodialysis repair.

Project description:PurposeWe introduce a novel technique for closed chamber iridodialysis repair.Materials and methodsWe use a 2.8-mm paracentesis knife to penetrate into the anterior chamber and create interrupted incisions in the sclera. The wounds are 1.5 mm distant from the limbus, at consistent 2.8-mm intervals along the dialysis area. After injecting viscocohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device through a side port to relieve the synechia and to push the iris toward the incisions, the iris is then grasped by Kelman forceps through the sclera, dragged carefully, and incarcerated. After adjusting the tension of the iris according to the pupil shape, the sclera and the incarcerated iris tissue were sutured together with 10-0 nylon.ResultsThe technique was effective in six patients with traumatic iridodialysis.ConclusionOur surgical technique repairs the iris, restores the shape of pupil, as well as avoids creating a large incision in the limbus in patients suffering from iridodialysis.

Arthroscopically Assisted Double-Loop Suture Repair for Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Disruption.

Project description:The surgical management of acute high-grade acromioclavicular (AC) joint (ACJ) injuries has evolved during the last decades. Numerous surgical techniques exist and recently arthroscopically assisted or all endoscopic techniques have gained popularity due to certain advantages. The goals of the new anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction techniques are to achieve anatomic reduction of the ACJ to allow and facilitate primary healing of AC and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments, and also to minimize the risk of associated complications. We regularly use the open repair with double-loop sutures for the acute ACJ disruption, as described by Dimakopoulos et al. at 2006. In this surgical technique article, we present the arthroscopically assisted technique for the double-loop suture repair.

Arthroscopic suture anchor tenodesis: loop-suture technique.

Project description:With advancements in arthroscopic surgery, arthroscopic biceps tenodesis with suture anchor recently has been reported to be a reasonable option for the treatment of biceps pathologies, especially for those that are symptomatic or accompanied by a rotator cuff tear. We introduce our technique of arthroscopic biceps tenodesis with suture anchor that we call the loop-suture technique, which is constructed with 1 loop strand and another sutured strand. This technique can help to improve biceps grip and simultaneously minimize longitudinal splitting of the tendon. In addition, it is relatively simple and can be performed with the use of conventional devices and arthroscopic portals used for rotator cuff repair, without the formation of additional portals or a separate incision for the tenodesis.

Enhanced Zone II Flexor Tendon Repair through a New Half Hitch Loop Suture Configuration.

Project description:This study evaluated the impact of a new half hitch loop suture configuration on flexor tendon repair mechanics. Cadaver canine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were repaired with 4- or 8-strands, 4-0 or 3-0 suture, with and without half hitch loops. An additional group underwent repair with half hitch loops but without the terminal knot. Half hitch loops improved the strength of 8-strand repairs by 21% when 4-0, and 33% when 3-0 suture was used, and caused a shift in failure mode from suture pullout to suture breakage. 8-strand repairs with half hitch loops but without a terminal knot produced equivalent mechanical properties to those without half hitch loops but with a terminal knot. 4-strand repairs were limited by the strength of the suture in all groups and, as a result, the presence of half hitch loops did not alter the mechanical properties. Overall, half hitch loops improved repair mechanics, allowing failure strength to reach the full capability of suture strength. Improving the mechanical properties of flexor tendon repair with half hitch loops has the potential to reduce the postoperative risk of gap formation and catastrophic rupture in the early postoperative period.

CONTINUOUS MONOFILAMENT POLYAMIDE (LOOP) SUTURE IN THE REPAIR OF RECURRENT AND COMPLICATED INCISIONAL HERNIA.

Project description:Surgery for recurrent incisional hernia is followed by further recurrence in nearly half the patients. Majority of these failures are due to wound complications and factors which give rise to an increased strain on the suture line. In an effort to counter the risk factors, continuous monofilament nylon loop suture was used in the anatomical repair of 15 patients with recurrent and complicated incisional hernia. After a median follow up of 14 months only one patient (6.6%) developed a recurrence, despite selecting only poor-risk patients. This technique for anatomical repair of incisional hernia seems safe and dependable.

All-inside suture meniscal repair using suture passer.

Project description:In recent years, to save the meniscus and prevent the progression of knee osteoarthritis, the indications for meniscus repair have been expanding instead of partial menisectomy. Accordingly, various repair techniques for meniscus tears have been developed. The conventional inside-out and outside-in meniscus repair techniques and all-inside repair technique with an implant/anchor can be classified as trans-capsular (TC) repair from the perspective of suture with penetrating capsule. Recently, new suture passers for all-inside meniscus repair have been developed. To distinguish from conventional all-inside repair with implant/anchors, all-inside repair with only suture using these suture passers was described as all-inside suture (AIS) repair. This AIS repair could achieve meniscus-to-meniscus suture across the tear without interposition of soft tissues including the capsule between suture and meniscus, leading direct gap closing of torn edges. In this respect, AIS repair is considered to be "anatomical meniscus repair". Actually, some reports showed biomechanical and clinical advantages of AIS repair. However, there is still limited evidence in clinical practice. Moreover, there are some disadvantages for AIS repair. Not only further studies but also development of new devices and surgical techniques for AIS should be required. This review describes the current status of AIS repair for each type of tear.
