title: [Multiple sphincterotomies in the surgical treatment of cataracts in narrow pupils].
abstract: Deficient mydriasis of diverse etiology renders extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation technically difficult. Several techniques are available to improve surgical results when this problem is present. We have used multiple sphincterotomies in 6 patients with narrow pupils undergoing cataract extraction. We discuss the indications, intraoperative complications and postoperatory evolution of these cases.
