A 6-0 polyglactin suture is placed in the leading scroll of the Malyugin ring, and the end of the suture is secured at the main port incision. This prevents the iris expander from inadvertently dropping into the vitreous during intraoperative manipulation. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
