Here’s an edited video of 4-Flange Fixation using the Canabrava technique initially described by @dr_canabrava . We like this technique as it combines the best attributes of the Yamane flange formation with 4-Point fixation but without the use of Goretex suture. This eliminates the need to rotate knots and any concerns about erosion or secondary granulomas from the Goretex.
It’s quicker than using Goretex but not as fast as a Yamane, however IOL stability is likely better and IOL centration was definitely easiest with this technique.
Watch out for our next video of another case showing a few modifications or options we employed to this technique.
