          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of three different surgical techniques for foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation in vitrectomized eyes without capsular support. Methods: A total of 60 patients with aphakic and vitrectomized eyes without capsular support were enrolled. All patients underwent three-piece foldable PCIOL implantation into the posterior chamber through a small corneal incision. Transscleral fixation (TSF), iris fixation (IF), and intrascleral tunnel fixation (ISF) surgical techniques were performed. Results: Postoperative PCIOL subluxation or dislocation occurred in one case in the TSF group and two cases in the ISF group. Intraoperative PCIOL dislocation occurred in two patients in the IF group. The incidence of temporary postoperative complications, such as mild intraocular hemorrhage and cystoid macular edema, was higher in the ISF group. No statistically significant difference in PCIOL-related astigmatism was observed between groups. Visual acuity improved in all groups. Conclusions: Postoperative outcomes were comparable between TSF, IF, and ISF for PCIOL in vitrectomized eyes without capsular support.

          RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados de três diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas para implantação da lente intraocular de câmara posterior (PCIOL) dobrável em olhos vitrectomizados sem apoio capsular. Métodos: Um total de 60 olhos de 60 pacientes afácicos vitrectomizados, sem apoio capsular foram inscritos. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos ao implante de PCIOL dobrável de três peças na câmara posterior, através de uma pequena incisão na córnea. Foram utilizados as técnicas cirúrgicas de fixação transescleral (TSF), fixação iriana (IF) e túnel de fixação intraescleral (ISF). Resultados: Subluxação ou luxação da PCIOL ocorreu em um caso no grupo TSF e em dois casos no grupo ISF. Deslocamentos intraoperatórios da PCIOL ocorram em dois pacientes no grupo IF. Frequência de complicações pós-operatórias temporárias como hemorragia intraocular leve e edema macular cistóide foi maior no grupo ISF. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa do astigmatismo relacionado à PCIOL entre os grupos. A acuidade visual melhorou em todos os grupos. Conclusões: Nenhuma das três técnicas cirúrgicas teve destaque em termos de resultados cirúrgicos comparativos.

          Simplified and safe method of sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation: Y-fixation technique.

          We report a new surgical technique that allows intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) without sutures. The Y-fixation technique does not involve complicated intraocular manipulation and achieves safe sutureless fixation. A Y-shaped incision is made in the sclera and a 24-gauge microvitreoretinal (MVR) knife is used to create the sclerotomy instead of a needle. The Y-shaped incision eliminates the need to raise a large lamellar scleral flap and to use fibrin glue because the haptic can be fixed both inside the tunnel and in the groove, and performing the sclerotomy with the 24-gauge MVR knife simplifies extraction of the haptic and improves wound closure. There is no risk of infection from exposure of the haptic on the sclera and no use of fibrin glue. There was significantly less IOL decentration and tilt than with suture fixation.

            Ab externo sulcus fixation.

            A new suturing method for sulcus fixation of posterior chamber lenses is described. This technique involves using a 28-gauge hollow-bore needle on an insulin syringe and a straight suture needle carrying 10-0 polypropylene. Both of these needles penetrate the eye wall in ab externo fashion, with measurements guiding their insertion. This technique promotes reproducible suture placement and reliable sulcus fixation of the implant.
