DR.MANPREET KAUR (K18920)

Abstract

The video assisted instruction course will highlight step by step technique to perform small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for beginner surgeons. In-depth understanding of the machine and laser settings to ensure smooth laser application while minimizing intraoperative suction loss, black spots and opaque bubble layer formation will be discussed. Surgical tips to facilitate smooth lenticule dissection and extraction will be demonstrated, along with various signs and maneuvers to prevent lenticule mis-dissection. Management of common intraoperative complications such as suction loss, cap-lenticular adhesions, torn lenticule, cap and side-cut tears will be demonstrated. Surgical options for re-treatment in cases with failure of primary surgery will be discussed.
