CIRCUMFERENTIAL TRACTION SUTURES IN SCLERAL BUCKLING

Abstracts

IN THIS VIDEO WE DESCRIBE A TECHNIQUE FOR MUSCLE TRACTION SUTURES IN SCLERAL BUCKLING.
IN OUR TECHNIQUE, WE HAVE USED THE SAME 4-0 SILK SUTURE PLACING IT CIRCUMFERENTIALLY UNDER THE FOUR RECTUS MUSCLES. THIS WAY THE SURGEON IS ABLE TO MAKE THESE SURGICAL STEPS FASTER THAN USUAL.
THIS TECHNIQUE ALLOWS YOU CHANGE THE TRACTION POINTS OF THE SUTURES SO THE SURGEON HIMSELF CAN MOVE THE GLOBE, EXPOSE THE QUADRANT OF INTEREST AND HOLD IT SECURELY WHILE TO PERFORM THE SILICONE BAND SUTURES.
