Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effects of direct cyclopexy in the treatment of traumatic cyclodialysis cleft.

Methods: This is a retrospective case study. Patients with traumatic cyclodialysis cleft, who were treated with direct cyclopexy and had complete medical records at Tianjin Eye Hospital between February 2021 and August 2022 were selected. The detailed characteristics of the 23 patients were analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and the extent of ciliary detachment were recorded. All patients were followed up for six months.

Results: 19 of the 23 patients who underwent single direct cyclopexy, the other 4 patients with severe posterior segment damage underwent direct cyclopexy combined with vitrectomy, suprachoroidal drainage, etc. After surgery, 22 of the 23 patients successfully reset the ciliary body, including four patients who underwent combined operations, which showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). The mean preoperative IOP was 6.48 ± 1.62 mmHg and it has a different degree of rebound in 21 cases reaching 13.29 ± 2.11 mmHg on 6 months after operation, including 6 cases of transient high intraocular pressure (> 21 mmHg) (P < 0.01). Best corrected visual acuity was increased from preoperatively 0.60 ± 0.21 logMAR to 0.38 ± 0.26 log MAR postoperatively, in which the vision > 0.3 logMAR reached 65.2% (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: Direct cyclopexy with or without vitrectomy is an effective method for treating traumatic ciliary body detachment.

Persistent hypotony following Tanito microhook trabeculotomy (TMH) is rare but may occur due to the development of cyclodialysis clefts. We report a case of a Japanese man in his 40s who developed persistent hypotony and hypotony maculopathy after TMH in the left eye. Fourteen months after the surgery, the patient was referred to our institution due to prolonged hypotony that remained undiagnosed and untreated despite evaluations with gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) at the referring clinic.

Purpose: To describe an alternative technique used in massive post-traumatic cyclodialysis. Classic techniques such as direct cyclopexy are performed ab externo and entail a higher risk of endophthalmitis or ciliary body hemorrhage. Therefore we present a case report using combined sewing machine technique cyclopexy with transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation for complete post-traumatic cyclodialysis.

Introduction: Although ab-interno trabeculotomy-related (goniotomy-related) surgeries has a favorable safety profile, cyclodialysis cleft refractory to conservative management could occur, thereby requiring additional surgical treatment. External and, more recently, internal cycloplexy have been attempted to treat cyclodialysis clefts with hypotony maculopathy, however the traditional methods require conjunctival or scleral incisions and have been inappropriate for glaucoma patients who need to undergo future trabeculectomy. Therefore, we report two cases who underwent a novel reliable technique for suture fixation of the detached ciliary body onto the original scleral bed directly through the intraocular approach without conjunctival or scleral incision, minimally invasive direct internal cyclopexy, in the management of goniotomy-related cyclodialysis cleft with hypotony maculopathy.

Purpose: None of the authors has any financial/conflicting interests to disclose.The aim of this study was to report a surgical technique of cyclopexy, wherein two laps of encircling continuous sutures are placed around the limbus to treat refractory extensive cyclodialysis.

Methods: This study employed swept-source optical coherence tomography for anterior segment, color fundus photography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for the macula.
