[Vicryl in cataract surgery: a step toward the ideal suture].
On the basis of a study of 35 cataracts, of which 16 were in bilateral cases where both eyes were operated on simultaneously, the author shows that in the search for the ideal suture, it is worth trying a reabsorbable material. Vicryl is without doubt to be recommended in view of its easy handling once one is familiar with it, its reliability, regular reabsorption period, good tolerance by patients, minimal inflammatory reaction and the absence of any complications that may be attributed to it.
