A Cross-Knotted Suture Basket Technique for Large Nonmagnetic Intraocular Foreign Body Removal.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:To report a novel technique of cross-knotted suture basket and to test its effectiveness in large nonmagnetic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. Methods:A 7/0 Vicryl suture was cut in half and cross-knotted, and four ends were introduced into a 23G needle to form a basket. Pig eyes were used to set up the IOFB model, and the effectiveness of the suture basket in the removal of large nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies was tested. Results:Several modifications can be made to adapt to different situations. For the materials (stone, metal, glass, and wood) and shapes (irregular, spherical, and rectangle) of large IOFB tested, the cross-knotted suture basket successfully removed all kinds of IOFBs. Conclusion:The suture basket technique provides an accessible, safe, and effective alternative in large nonmagnetic IOFB removal. It can be adapted and interchangedand also worth's further clinical investigations.

Perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:We describe the benefits of perfluoro-N-octane (PFO), a perfluorocarbon liquid, in the removal of nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) from the macula and posterior segment. Two consecutive cases of posterior segment IOFB were reviewed. An 18-year-old male presented to the emergency room after a motor vehicle accident with a zone 1 open globe injury and large glass IOFB in the left eye. A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a history of a 3-week delayed presentation of a zone 1 open globe injury from a nail to the right eye. He was found to have a metallic IOFB. In both cases, PFO was used to slide the nonmagnetic IOFBs outside of the macula for safer retrieval. PFO was also able to protect the posterior pole from IOFB drops during early attempts at removal. PFO can be a useful surgical adjunct to pars plana vitrectomy in the removal of certain nonmagnetic IOFBs.

Endoscopic-assisted removal of intraocular foreign body embedded in ciliary sulcus.

Project description:PurposeTo report a novel approach for removal of intraocular foreign body in the ciliary sulcus.ObservationsA 72-year-old male presented with an intraocular foreign body embedded in the ciliary body, localized with ultrasound biomicroscopy. An intraoperative endoscopic camera was then used to directly visualize the foreign body in the ciliary body and the object was successfully removed with intraocular forceps.Conclusions and importanceRemoval of foreign bodies in the ciliary sulcus often require either a transscleral approach or a pars plana approach with vitrectomy. In this case, direct visualization with endoscopy allowed for a much safer and less invasive technique for intraocular foreign body removal, preventing the need for sclerotomy or vitrectomy.

Utility of a nitinol stone extractor for intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:PurposeTo describe the novel application of a urological instrument, the nitinol stone basket, in the removal of a retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB).ObservationsThis is a retrospective case series describing two eyes of two patients presenting with metallic IOFBs after hammering metal-on-metal. Both patients underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and successful IOFB extraction using the NCircle® Nitinol Tipless Stone Extractor. There were no intraoperative or post-surgical complications. Both patients demonstrated improvement in vision, with most recent postoperative visual acuities of 20/40 and 20/60.Conclusions and importanceThe nitinol stone basket may be considered for removal of IOFBs, particularly larger IOFBs that are difficult to grasp with forceps. Our cases add to the literature showing favorable visual outcomes and few complications in the post-operative period using this technique.

Electroretinograms before and after extraction of large intraocular iron foreign body.

Project description:PurposeWe present our findings in a case with an intraocular foreign body in which the electroretinographic (ERG) findings were useful.ObservationsA 37-year-old man was injured by an iron fragment that penetrated into his left eye through the cornea. His visual acuity was counting fingers, and a traumatic cataract prevented an examination of the fundus. B-mode ultrasonography showed a stick-like foreign body of approximately 14 mm in length in the eye. Preoperative ERGs with a contact lens electrode showed reduced responses with many blinking artifacts. Lensectomy and pars plana vitrectomy were performed and a fragment of a wire brush was seen embedded in the superior nasal retina which was removed. The decimal visual acuity improved to 1.2 two weeks later. The postoperative ERG performed with a skin electrode showed reduced responses in the injured eye.Conclusions and importanceWe recommend that the physiology of the retina be assessed by recording ERGs with a skin-type electrode as soon as possible after a traumatic injury to the eye.

Intraocular Suture Looping Technique for Flapless Four-Point Refixation of Dislocated Intraocular Lenses.

Project description:PurposeTo describe a flapless/grooveless technique for four-point refixation of a dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) with four fenestrated haptics.MethodsAn intraocular suture looping technique was performed with the assistance of two 27-gauge needles. A looping needle was passed into the eye through paracentesis and was used to loop both fenestrated haptics on the same side with an 8-0 polypropylene thread. A guiding needle was used to guide the looping needle out of the eye at the scleral fixation sites. After looping each pair of fenestrated haptics on nasal/temporal sides with 8-0 polypropylene sutures, the IOL was refixated by definitive knotting. The exterior suture ends were buried into the sclera without the creation of scleral flaps/grooves.ResultsThe technique was employed in four eyes (three patients). The mean postoperative follow-up period was 13.8 ± 2.2 months. Postoperatively, the IOLs of all the eyes remained well positioned and stable. The postoperative visual acuities of all the eyes were improved. No suture erosion, hypotony, scleral atrophy, chronic inflammation, retinal tears, and/or detachments were observed within the follow-up period.ConclusionThe present technique provides minimal surgical invasion for the transscleral refixation of a dislocated IOL with four fenestrated haptics.

INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF POSTOPERATIVE ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER PRIMARY SURGICAL REPAIR COMBINED WITH INTRAOCULAR FOREIGN BODY REMOVAL.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze the incidence and risk factors of postoperative endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair and intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal within 24 hours of injury.MethodsThe records of all patients treated surgically for open globe injury and IOFB removal at the Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Variables included time from injury to operation, cause of injury, details of surgical repair, and follow-up. The incidence and risk factors of endophthalmitis after IOFB removal were studied.ResultsDuring 5 years, 99 patients with IOFB were reviewed. Of these, 19 patients were diagnosed with endophthalmitis on admission, and 5 were suspected of having endophthalmitis during operation. Fifty-four cases had no clinical signs of endophthalmitis on admission and during operation and were treated with operation within 24 hours after the injury. Two patients (2 of 54; 3.70%) developed endophthalmitis after IOFB removal, and the causative agent in both cases was Bacillus cereus.ConclusionThe incidence of infectious endophthalmitis after primary surgical repair combined with IOFB removal (≤24 hours) was 3.70% in patients who received a series of standard treatments, and B. cereus infection might be a risk factor.

Double Row Knotted "Trident": 1 Suture Technique for Superior to Posterosuperior Small Cuff Tear.

Project description:Many arthroscopy suture techniques have been described for small rotator cuff tears, but there is no consensus. The aim of this study is to describe a double-row knot technique, which we call a "trident point," for the superior and posterosuperior small cuff tear that is easily reproducible and has a fast learning curve. This knot takes into account the excess of tendon tissue on the foot print after a cuff suture, called a "dog-ear deformity." However clinical, ultrasound, and biomechanical evaluation with follow-up remains necessary to validate the sustainability of this arthroscopy technique.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for the Removal of Posterior Intraocular Foreign Bodies.

Project description:This is a prospective clinical assay that included six patients who were diagnosed with penetrating corneal injury, traumatic cataract, and posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB). Following anterior segment repair and extraction of traumatic cataract by clear cornea phacoemulsification, a standard 25-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy was performed to find and release the IOFB. With active suction using a 25-gauge silicone tipped cannula, the foreign body was retrieved and safely placed in the anterior chamber. After stabilization of the anterior chamber with viscoelastic injection, IOFB extraction through the main phaco incision was easily performed, followed by placement of an intraocular lens. Of the six patients, 66.6% showed a significant improvement of visual acuity. No complications associated directly with the surgical procedure occurred. Our surgical technique is a safe alternative for handling and removing a posterior IOFB. There was no need for a scleral incision.

Cable tie technique for securing scleral fixation suture to intraocular lens.

Project description:PurposeTo report a new flanged intrascleral fixation technique for subluxated or dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) with c-loop or double c-loop haptics (cable tie fixation method).ObservationsWe introduced a cable tie fixation method using 6-0 polypropylene for subluxated multifocal IOL with C-loop or double C-loop haptics. After passing the 6-0 polypropylene monofilament under the optic-haptic junction, the other end of the strand was taken out of the eye after passing it above the optic-haptic junction. A knot was made at one end, and the opposite strand was passed through the knot to form a loop. Both ends of the monofilament were tugged to make the loop fixed to the optic-haptic junction smaller. Both ends of the monofilament were externalized 2.5 mm posterior to the limbus using a 30 G needle. Another 6-0 polypropylene monofilament was tied to the opposite optic-haptic junction and scleral fixation was performed. While checking the IOL centration, the four ends of the 6-0 polypropylene monofilaments were heated with a cautery to form flanges.Conclusions and importanceA four-flanged intrascleral fixation technique involving a cable tie-shaped loop using 6-0 polypropylene could provide stable IOL fixation without damage for subluxated or dislocated IOLs with C-loop or double C-loop haptics.
