Utility of Cross Suture Technique for Stabilize the Intraocular Lens Against Vitreous Pressure During Penetrating Re-Keratoplasty: Case Report

We reported a simple, effective, and exceptional blocking technique to prevent possible complications during penetrating re-keratoplasty. A 54-year-old female patient was admitted to the clinic with the complaint of opening corneal surgical wound. After careful corneal dissection from the graft host wound dehiscence, the intraocular lens implantation was tried. However, the vitreous pressure blocked the intraocular lens placement. We decided to do cross sutures to prevent both vitreous pressure and intraocular lens stabilization to finish the corneal transplantation. After the transplantation, the sutures were removed easily and the surgery completed successfully.
