Abstract

[...]wound distortion due to inadvertent pressure caused by the maneuver resulted in not only suboptimal air fill but also in a sudden gush of air loss upon withdrawal. [...]alternative methods were required to close the wound temporarily. [4] Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid or hyaluronan) is a type of cohesive VES that has become a popular and indispensable VES for use in cataract extraction and corneal transplantation surgery since the introduction of Healon® (sodium hyaluronate 1%, 4 × 106 Daltons) in 1979. [...]the formation of a single, small blob due to its cohesive nature not only prevents any inadvertent intraocular entry by binding its particles together but also allows easy wash with balanced salt solution (BSS) once an effective tamponade is achieved.
