Three cases are presented which document the finding that 10-0 monofilament nylon suture may cut through corneal tissue after a coup or contrecoup injury to a recently operated eye. The authors speculate that a larger gauge suture does not have the tendency to cut through recently operated corneal tissue as easily as 10-0 monifilament nylon. The authors recommend the use of a larger gauge suture in closing corneal incisions in persons whom the surgeon feels are at a greater postoperative traumatic risk.
本文报告了3例病例，这些病例证实了一个发现：对于近期接受手术的眼睛，在受到对冲伤或反冲伤后，10-0单丝尼龙缝线可能会切割角膜组织。作者推测，较粗规格的缝线不像10-0单丝尼龙那样容易切割近期手术过的角膜组织。作者建议，对于外科医生认为术后创伤风险较高的患者，在缝合角膜切口时使用较粗规格的缝线。
