Single-point pivot for combined repair of concurrent iridodialysis and cyclodialysis.

Iridodialysis and cyclodialysis can occur simultaneously in patients with blunt trauma to the eye, and both might necessitate surgical correction when symptoms emerge. Numerous techniques are used to repair each dialysis individually; thus, the patient will have to return to the operating room for each additional surgery. To our knowledge, the literature lacks techniques to manage both conditions simultaneously. We developed a new approach in which both dialyses can be repaired using a single suture, pivoting both at the same point. The suture that passes through the eyelet of the capsular tension ring placed in the sulcus (for internal cyclopexy) is further passed through the detached iris root and retracted via the ciliary cleft to be tied over the scleral bed, facilitating closure of both dialyses at the same time. This is an effective approach for the repair of concurrent iridodialysis and cyclodialysis.
