An unusual case of cataract extraction is presented in which 6-0 chronic catgut sutures persisted over 2 years and 8 months and caused repeated attacks of conjunctival inflammation and iritis. This along with the discussion in this paper shows that despite is other advantages the chronic catgut is not a suitable suture for routine use in cataract surgery. However, because of the distinct advantages it is suggested that its use be limited to the selected cases, eg, in nervous persons where difficulty in removal of sutures is a problem.
本文介绍了一例不寻常的白内障摘除病例，其中6-0号慢性肠线持续存在了2年8个月，并引发了反复的结膜炎症和虹膜炎发作。本文的讨论表明，尽管慢性肠线有其他优点，但它并非白内障手术常规使用的合适缝线。然而，鉴于其明显的优点，建议仅在特定病例中使用，例如对于那些拆线困难的神经质患者。
