Suture-guided technique may eliminate intraoperative risk during CTR insertion
Using a suture-guided technique to insert a capsular tension ring into the capsular bag may lessen the potential for intraoperative complications such as capsule entanglement or iatrogenic zonular dialysis, according to a study.A capsular tension ring (CTR) supports areas of zonular weakness by creating tension within the capsular bag, but complications may arise if torque is created between the CTR and capsular bag. As a result, this could cause an extension of zonular dialysis or creation of an iatrogenic dialysis, the study said.
