METHOD FOR SURGICAL REMOVAL OF IRIDODIALYSIS FOLLOWED BY PUPIL CENTRING Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to ophthalmology, and can be used for surgical treatment of iridodialysis of various aetiologies. That is ensured by fixing the iris root to the sclera with U-sutures. Needle with a thread is inserted through the performed paracentesis perpendicular to a portion of the pupil with the greatest deviation from the optical axis. Pupillary edge of the defect is sequentially captured with a needle. It is pricked out through the cornea in the opposite segment. Suture is pulled, leaving a free end without a needle in the paracentesis. Other end of the suture is hooked out of the anterior chamber through the same paracentesis, forming a loop, gripping it with forceps for tying sutures, and 2 times is wound on the branches of the second forceps for tying, which grasped the free end of the suture left in the paracentesis. Suture ends are stretched in opposite directions with the help of these forceps, thus tying a knot three times. Both ends of the suture are cut with collet scissors 25G through paracentesis, sealing of paracenteses – without suture.

EFFECT: invention provides restoration of anatomical position of iris, central position of pupil, improvement of visual functions, high aesthetic results, reduced risks of repeated interventions.
