Traction suture fixation technique using a capsular tension ring fragment for severe lens displacement during cataract surgery in dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the traction suture fixation technique for severely displaced lenses (≥180°) using a capsular tension ring (CTR) fragment during cataract surgery in dogs, and to retrospectively investigate its clinical outcomes.

Animals studied

Eight dogs (nine eyes).

Procedures

The medical records of dogs with severe lens displacement (≥180°) due to cataracts that underwent traction suture fixation during cataract surgery using a CTR fragment at the Grand Animal Hospital (Hyogo, Japan) between November 2019 and September 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The retrieved data included the signalment, type of CTR, and postoperative outcomes.

Results

A single CTR fragment was used to fix the capsular bag to the sclera in six eyes, and two CTR fragments wer
