Abstract EN
Purpose.
To report a modified surgical strategy in the management of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome-associated iris prolapse.
Methods.
Prolapsed iris is left as is and a new corneal incision near the original wound but at a different site is created.
Depending on the location of the original incision and the surgeon’s preference, this additional incision can be used as a new port for phacoemulsification tip or can be the new site for the iris to securely prolapse, allowing for the surgery to proceed safely.
Results.
We present 2 cases of iris prolapse and inadequate pupil dilation in patients with IFIS.
Along with our modified technique, additional iris retractors were placed to increase the workspace for the phacoemulsification tip.
The cataract surgery was performed successfully without further complications in both cases.
Conclusion.
This surgical technique could be an adjunct to allow the surgeons to expand the armamentarium for the management of IFIS-associated iris prolapse.
