Cionni Modified Capsular Tension ring in Marfan Syndrome

Cionni Modified Capsular Tension ring in Marfan Syndrome. She is an 8 years old girl with 20/200 vision because of more than 8D of astigmatics and double vision. Sutured the ring with 10/0 prolene on CIF-4 needle. Should have used a superior separate incision to implant the ring and suture it.

Excellent question. It should last the rest of her life. Sometimes it gets broken and that is why we tend to use more of the 9/0 now. If it does break, it can be resutured in another surgery.

what type of suture did you use?

thanks

It is 10--0 polypropylene suture on a CIF-4 needle (Ethicon)

I have marfans and am having this surgery done in one week, by Dr. Cionni. I have to admit, I really wish I had seen that after the surgery:) Wow, this is so crazy to watch, I am wondering though how much of an improvement in eye sight is there? I ware a -15.5 Contact, and am not sure what is a realistic expectation. Thank You!

This girl, had a 20/200 best corrected vision with some degree of laszy eye. One month after the surgery she saw 20/30+2, it was amazing. She is very happy. I think Dr.Cionni will do even a better job than my self. Good luck with your surgery, and send him my greatings.

How long do you expect the polypropylene 10-0 suture last?

[funnykidyyz]

Did you have to go trough the eye wasn't there another way?

well that has put my mind at ease if i ever have to have that operation.

At one point i thought he was just going to pull his eye out. lol
