Long-term suture breakage after scleral fixation of a modified capsular tension ring with polypropylene 10-0 suture
Clinical Ophthalmology Jun 16, 2021
Kristianslund O, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to examine the long-term risk of suture breakage after implantation of a modified capsular tension ring (MCTR) fixated to the sclera with polypropylene 10– 0 suture. They involved patients operated on with scleral suturing of an MCTR in the period 2007–2015. One hundred thirty-two eyes (92 patients) operated on with an MCTR were identified. The long-term rate of suture breakage after scleral fixation of the MCTR with polypropylene 10–0 suture was quite high in this study. As a result, for this type of surgery, 9–0 polypropylene or Gore-Tex sutures should be considered, at least in younger patients.
