title: The quadrate suture. A new technique for temporary intraoperative mydriasis.
abstract: A simple, quick, effective, and atraumatic closed suturing technique for producing and maintaining intraoperative pupillary dilation is described. Readily available sutures, needles, and syringes are used in a way that eliminates the need for paracenteses, sclerotomies, and special equipment.
