New suture material for squint surgery.
All operations were performed under general anaesthesia using a limbal approach to the insertions of the muscles, similar to that recently described by Fells (I97 i). The 6/o Ethiflex suture was then used in the standard manner employing a "whip" stitch on the edge of each muscle. At the moment the suture is presented with a io-mm. taper-point needle. This is not ideal, but no problems, apart f...
متن کاملA new suture needle for corneal surgery.
IT occurred to me some time ago that, if one used a straight needle so that in placing sutures there was no bending force applied by the needle-holder, this needle could be greatly reduced in diameter. This smaller cross-section would in turn allow it to penetrate tough tissue such as the cornea much more easily. Further, I felt that with a straight needle one could place sutures much more accu...
متن کاملLimbal incision with conjunctival continuous key-pattern suture in squint surgery.
This paper describes an improvement in the technique of limbal incision of the conjunctiva in squint operations. The limbal incision was first described by Zugsmith (I959) as a peritomy incision, but Massin and Hudelo (I962) were the first to show its full advantage in squint surgery, and von Noorden (i 968, i 969) improved the technique. The limbal incision has the merits of providing a scarle...
متن کاملADJUSTABLE SUTURE IN STRABISMUS SURGERY
Adjustable suture in strabismus surgery is a way to get accurate alignment of the eyes after operation. This technique is used in cooperative patients, being either adults or children. We report the result of this technique in 120 patients, 70 with esotropia and 50 exotropia. The amount of deviation was between 20 and 60 prismdiopters. The patients were mostly adults and teenagers. and the...
متن کاملIs presoaking suture material prior to strabismus surgery appropriate?
Dr. Nelson has no financial or proprietary interest in the materials presented herein. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20120523-01 The incidence of perioperative inflammation after strabismus surgery is uncommon. Many of these cases may be related to when there is prolongation of the suture material dissolving, creating conjunctival injection around the suture. This phenomenon is more common in adult str...
