Sutureless ECCE: Traction Suture and Conjunctival Peritomy
By Will Dean, MD
Sutureless ECCE
Cataract/Anterior Segment
In this segment from Dr. Will Dean's Sutureless ECCE video program, a superior rectus traction suture is placed to improve exposure, and a conjunctival peritomy is performed using blunt dissection near the limbus. Light cautery is then applied to the episcleral vessels. The video series documents step-by-step techniques for sutureless extracapsular cataract extraction.
