New adjustable suture technique for trabeculectomy [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2013
To describe an adjustable suture (AS) experimental model that allows for tightening, loosening and retightening of the suture tension in trabeculectomy.Standard trabeculectomy was performed in fifteen pig eyeballs.

Early and delayed suture adjustments after adjustable suture strabismus surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Medical hypothesis discovery and innovation in ophthalmology, 2023
Background: Adjustable sutures increase the success rate of strabismus surgery. However, the optimal timing of postoperative suture adjustment remains controversial. This trial was aimed at comparing the surgical outcomes and pain scores of early or 2 – 4 h and delayed or 24 h postoperative suture adjustment in adult patients undergoing strabismus ...
