Small-incision lenticule extraction may be associated with complications such as partial lenticular dissection, torn lenticule, lenticular adherence to cap, torn cap, and sub-cap epithelial ingrowth, some of which are more likely to occur during low-myopia corrections. We describe sequential segmental terminal lenticular side-cut dissection to facilitate minimally traumatic and smooth lenticular extraction. Anterior lamellar dissection is followed by central posterior lamellar dissection, leaving a thin peripheral rim and avoiding the lenticular side cut. This is followed by sequential segmental dissection of the lenticular side cut in a manner that fixates the lenticule and provides sufficient resistance for smooth and complete dissection of the posterior lamellar cut without undesired movements of the lenticule. The technique is advantageous in thin lenticules, where the risk for complications is high, but can also be used in thick lenticular dissection using wider sweeps to separate the lenticular side cut sequentially. © 2017 ASCRS and ESCRS

Abstract

Small-incision lenticule extraction may be associated with complications such as partial lenticular dissection, torn lenticule, lenticular adherence to cap, torn cap, and sub-cap epithelial ingrowth, some of which are more likely to occur during low-myopia corrections. We describe sequential segmental terminal lenticular side-cut dissection to facilitate minimally traumatic and smooth lenticular extraction. Anterior lamellar dissection is followed by central posterior lamellar dissection, leaving a thin peripheral rim and avoiding the lenticular side cut. This is followed by sequential segmental dissection of the lenticular side cut in a manner that fixates the lenticule and provides sufficient resistance for smooth and complete dissection of the posterior lamellar cut without undesired movements of the lenticule. The technique is advantageous in thin lenticules, where the risk for complications is high, but can also be used in thick lenticular dissection using wider sweeps to separate the lenticular side cut sequentially. © 2017 ASCRS and ESCRS
