The McCannel suture: a bimanual technique.
The bimanual technique utilizing the iris manipulator and a full air bubble allows excellent control of anterior chamber depth and IOL position. It also minimizes the risk of trauma to the underlying lens, posterior capsule or vitreous during placement of iris sutures; and its use may prevent the tragedy of severe endothelial damage during insertion of the McCannel suture.
