Novel surgical technique to manage iStent inject over-implantation
Ang BCH; Chen EJEuropean Journal of Ophthalmology 2023; 33: 2309-2312
PURPOSE: To describe a novel surgical technique to manage over-implantation of the iStent inject intra-operatively, utilizing only the iStent inject delivery system itself to perform both device extraction and reimplantation, without the need for additional instrumentation. METHODS: A demonstration of managing over-implantation of the iStent inject, with two case examples. RESULTS: Over-implantation of the iStent inject can be successfully managed intra-operatively to ensure ideal positioning to optimise post-operative outcomes, with the use of only the iStent inject delivery system itself for both device extraction and reimplantation. CONCLUSION: This novel technique provides a cost-effective and feasible means to intra-operatively manage over-implantation of the iStent inject.
