Novel yamane technique modification for haptic exposure after glued intrascleral haptic fixation.

ABSTRACT: The field of intraocular lens fixation in the setting of inadequate capsular support is a dynamic one as surgical approaches are constantly evolving. There has been a paradigm shift towards the use of sutureless methods of scleral fixation to avoid suture-related complications. In the latest described style of scleral fixation, IOLs can be secured without suture or "glue", and rather with the creation of a flange on each haptic that allows for firm intrascleral fixation. We describe a modification of the flange technique to refixate patients with glued IOLs who developed haptic extrusion and required surgical intervention.

The "correct shake" for "handshake" in glued intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens.

Project description:We hereby describe the correct method to perform a "handshake technique" and easy transfer of haptics from one hand to another for glued intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens (glued IOL). The procedure was implemented in 57 cases that necessitated the application of performing a glued IOL procedure and it resulted in an appropriate and easy externalization of haptic in all the cases. The surgeons' positioning with reference to the scleral flap is an essential component and the surgeon should always be positioned perpendicular to the plane of scleral flaps and the plane of haptic maneuver. The surgeons who intend to perform glued IOL should adopt this technical point.

The simply modified intrascleral fixation using round flange (SMURF) technique for intrascleral intraocular lens fixation.

Project description:We describe a simply modified intrascleral fixation using round flange (SMURF) technique and report the clinical outcomes of the surgery. Forty-one eyes of 41 consecutive patients, with intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, crystalline lens subluxation, and zonular weakness, who underwent surgery using the SMURF technique were included. The modified technique included the use of a conventional 27-gauge needle, a non-bent needle, oblique sclerotomy, direct threading of the leading haptic, and simple placement of the following haptic. IOLs were successfully placed and showed good centring. There were no cases of wound leakage or hypotony during the early postoperative period. Postoperative complications included vitreous haemorrhage in one eye (2.4%), intraocular pressure elevation in one eye (2.4%), and iris capture in six eyes (14.6%). There were no cases of postoperative retinal detachment, cystoid macular oedema, endophthalmitis, or IOL dislocation during the follow-up period. We proposed a few modifications in the intrascleral flanged technique for IOL fixation. The modified technique is a simple, easy, and minimally invasive procedure for successful IOL intrascleral fixation.

Intrascleral Suture Anchoring: A Flapless/Grooveless Four-Point Intraocular Lens Fixation Technique.

Project description:PurposeWe describe a minimally invasive suture fixation technique for four-point fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the treatment of aphakic eyes, namely, the intrascleral suture anchoring technique. Neither scleral flaps nor large conjunctival dissections are required.MethodsThis study included 11 eyes (11 patients). After looping the eyelets on the IOL haptics and externalizing the threads, the curved needle attached to the externalized thread was started with two sequential intrascleral passes from the first fixation point to reach the second fixation point. The same procedure was performed for the other side of the IOL. A fixation knot was created in the sclerotomy by the two ends of the thread to close the suture loop for IOL fixation. Another knot was created about 2 to 3 mm from the exiting point and was intrasclerally anchored by the aid of the attached curved needle.ResultsThe mean postoperative follow-up period was 9.7 ± 5.8 months (range 5-15 months). The IOLs of all eyes remained well positioned and stable postoperatively. The postoperative visual acuities were improved. No suture erosion, suture loosening, hypotony, scleral atrophy, chronic inflammation, retinal tear, and/or detachment were observed within the follow-up period.ConclusionThe present technique is an alternative, flapless method for the four-point suture fixation of IOLs. It provides both minimal surgical trauma and reliable stability.

Application of a four-flanged intrascleral fixation technique for toric and multifocal intraocular lenses.

Project description:PurposeTo report clinical outcomes of a four-flanged intrascleral fixation technique using toric and multifocal intraocular lens.ObservationsWe describe two cases of premium intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after which the patients fully recovered their visual function following a four-point sutureless scleral fixation technique via a 2.8-mm corneal incision. In the first case, a monofocal toric hydrophobic lens consisting of two haptic plates with four holes for suturing was fixated with 5-0 polypropylene monofilament. In the second case, a bifocal hydrophobic lens with the same haptic design was fixated. No conjunctival or scleral sutures, glue, or flap formation was required during the surgery. There were no complications related to the surgical process.Conclusions and importanceA four-flanged intrascleral fixation technique may benefit patients with poor zonular support who have high expectations for postoperative visual quality.

A Modified Intrascleral Intraocular Lens Fixation Technique Using 27-Gauge Blunted Needles with Fewer Intraocular Manipulations.

Project description:A new method for intraocular lens (IOL) fixation in the scleral tunnel using two common 27G blunted needles and an ultrathin 30G needle with fewer intraocular manipulations was developed. Half-depth scleral flaps were prepared, and vertically angled sclerotomies were performed under each scleral flap, 2 mm from the limbs with a 20G microblade or a 26G needle. Two bent 27G blunted needles connected the sclerotomy and corneoscleral incisions. One haptic was inserted into this bent 27G blunted needle extraocularly and extruded through the sclerotomy site. Each haptic was inserted into the lumen of the preplaced ultrathin 30G needle and buried into the scleral tunnel. In this retrospective study, we reviewed the outcomes of this new technique in patients with at least 3 months' follow-up data. Iris capture of the IOL was not observed in any case, and IOL repositioning was not performed either. Astigmatism induced by intraocular aberration was almost as same as that with other methods. Our technique can be performed in any operation room without any extra instruments. This trial is registered with UMIN000044350.

Extraocular needle- guided haptic insertion technique of scleral fixation intraocular lens surgeries (X-NIT).

Project description:The most challenging step in sutureless scleral fixation of intraocular lens (SFIOL) is exteriorization of haptics. The conventional handshake technique has a learning curve since it involves intraocular handing over of haptics from one forceps to another. Here, we describe "extraocular needle-guided haptic insertion technique" (X-NIT), a novel technique of exteriorizing haptics that totally eliminates intraocular manipulations. This method involves sequential introduction of two bent 26-gauge needles through the sclera (pars plicata zone) into the eye which are brought out through a sclerocorneal wound. The intraocular lens haptics are threaded through these needles and exteriorized. Nineteen consecutive patients underwent surgery by this technique. There were no intraoperative complications. The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of these patients at 1-month follow-up was 0.5 ± 0.3 (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) with 18 of 19 eyes showing one or more lines of improvement in BCVA. X-NIT is a safe, easy, cost-effective, and highly reproducible technique, especially for beginners.

Combined flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation with corneal transplant.

Project description:Purpose:To report clinical outcomes and surgical technique of flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation with double-needle combined with either penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) or ultrathin Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK). Observations:Five patients underwent combined flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation with double-needle technique and keratoplasty. Three patients underwent triple procedure (open sky intrascleral intraocular lens fixation with double-needle and PKP) secondary to ocular trauma or a failed corneal transplant. Two patients underwent combined UT-DSAEK and intrascleral intraocular lens fixation for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) and anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOL). Conclusion:Flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation with double-needle technique combined with PKP or UT-DSAEK was shown to be a safe and effective method of visual rehabilitation without additional intraoperative complications.

Modified technique for trocar-based sutureless scleral fixation of intraocular lenses: A new approach to haptic externalization.

Project description:PurposeTo describe a modified technique of haptic externalization for trocar-based sutureless scleral fixation of intraocular lenses, in order to avoid working with forceps in the iris plane in a manner that may be unfamiliar to the vitreoretinal surgeon.MethodsThis prospective, interventional case series included four eyes of four patients with dislocated intraocular lens (IOL). The modified haptic externalization technique avoids the pitfalls of iris-plane maneuvers by intentionally dropping the IOL onto the retina and using the forceps to grasp the tips of the haptics prior to direct externalization from the same grab.ResultsFour patients underwent scleral fixation of IOL using modified haptic externalization technique. One patient was lost to follow up after postoperative day 1. At the last follow up, all eyes demonstrated stability and good centration of scleral fixated IOL. All three patients achieved a best corrected visual acuity same or better compared to before the operation. One patient developed vitreous hemorrhage which later spontaneously resolved.ConclusionsThe modified haptic externalization technique is a simple and quick modification using maneuvers familiar to vitreoretinal surgeons. It has demonstrated safety among a small pilot group of patients.

Trocar-assisted sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber foldable intra-ocular lens fixation.

Project description:PurposeWe report a novel technique characterized by sutureless scleral fixation of three-pieces foldable intraocular lens (IOL) using 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) trocars in patients with insufficient posterior capsule support.Materials and methodsWe performed this technique on the eight eyes of the seven patients. The scleral tunnels (STs) are prepared by insertion of the 25-gauge TSV microcannulas using the trocars, and anterior vitrectomy is performed through the clear corneal paracentesis with the aid of anterior chamber maintainer (ACM). Finally, the three-piece foldable IOL haptics are incarcerated into the prepared STs.ResultsThe patients were followed up 5-8 months. None of the patients had complications such as postoperative endophthalmitis, glaucoma, IOL tilt or decentralization, and retinal detachment. Injection of a foldable IOL through a clear corneal small incision also contributes the less surgical-induced astigmatism.ConclusionThe presented novel sutureless scleral IOL fixation technique may provide minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, good IOL stabilization decreasing the incidence of IOL tilt along with shorter operation time, and postoperative quiet eye.
