摘要：

Purpose: To report a new technique for safely and quickly removing a displaced capsular tension ring from the vitreous cavity. Design: Two interventional case reports. Participants: The authors retrospectively reviewed the charts of two patients with displaced capsular tension rings (CTRs). Intervention: Surgical removal of the displaced CTRs was performed in two patients. Main Outcome Measures: Visual and anatomic outcomes. Results: The CTRs were removed surgically, in case 1 by cutting the CTR into two pieces before removal and in case 2 by using the CTR injector to remove the CTR in one piece through a sclerotomy site. Both patients had good visual and anatomic outcomes. Conclusions: The described technique of removing a displaced CTR in one piece through a sclerotomy site using the CTR injector provides a safe and efficient method of CTR removal. Cutting the CTR into two or more pieces for removal is not recommended. (C) 2003 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
