Cobbler's Technique for Iridodialysis Repair

Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. 2016 Jan-Mar;23(1):142-4. doi: 10.4103/0974-9233.171770.

Abstract

We describe a novel "Cobbler's technique" for iridodialysis repair in the right eye of a patient aged 18 years, with a traumatic iridodialysis secondary to open globe injury with an iron rod. Our technique is simple with easy surgical maneuvers, that is, effective for repairing iridodialysis. The "Cobbler's technique" allows a maximally functional and cosmetic result for iridodialysis.

Keywords: Cobbler's Technique; Iridodialysis Repair; Trauma.
