New technique for iridodialysis correction: Single-knot sewing-machine suture

摘要

Iridodialysis is a common occurrence after trauma and can be the source of considerable morbidity for the patients. Several options to repair iridodialysis are described in the literature. We present a new technique a single-thread single-knot suture. This simple approach does not require special material and uses a single thread and a single knot, avoiding the need for using multiple sutures or placing multiple knots. We used this technique in several patients, and it appears to be an effective alternative to iridodialysis repair. (C) 2016 ASCRS and ESCRS
