Cut ends of 10-0 monofilament nylon sutures protruded and caused various combinations of severe pain, conjunctival inflammation, tarsal conjunctival ulcerations, eyelid edema, and corneal epithelial erosions in six patients postoperatively. These changes occurred one to three weeks after keratoplasty and one to three months after cataract surgery. In all six patients the signs and symptoms cleared after we trimmed or removed the offending sutures.
10-0单丝尼龙缝线的线尾外露,导致6例患者术后出现严重疼痛、结膜炎症、睑结膜溃疡、眼睑水肿和角膜上皮糜烂等多种症状。这些变化发生在角膜移植术后1至3周以及白内障手术后1至3个月。在我们修剪或拆除有问题的缝线后,所有6例患者的体征和症状均消失。
