Objective To present the surgical outcome of posterior chamber intraocular lens scleral fixation using a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless technique in aphakic patients due to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular support. Methods Six consecutive patients with aphakia due to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular bag support were operated by two surgeons. Intraocular lens scleral fixation was performed with a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless technique. Patients were followed-up for 12 months. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities were assessed with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts and expressed in decimals. Results All patients showed statistically significant best-corrected visual acuity improvement and excellent anatomic results. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.17 (range of 0.1–0.2). Mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.84 (range of 0.63–1.00). Mean initial spherical equivalent refractive error was +11.85 (range of +9.00 to +15.00). Mean final spherical equivalent refractive error was –0.25 (range of –1.25 to +2.25). There were no postoperative complications during the whole follow-up. Conclusion Fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens using a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless intrascleral technique is an excellent option for aphakic patients secondary to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular support.


Vitreoretinal surgery is evolving to a smaller size since first described. After the first vitrectomy probe defined as 17 Gauge (G), a smaller gauge (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G) vitrectomy probes and trocars were identified. Even though 20G vitrectomy has been used for many years, thinner and less traumatic vitrectomy systems are developed and 20G has lost popularity. Hybrid use of 20G and other systems remains current, especially in cases such as endophthalmitis, intraocular foreign body removal, and cataract surgery complications.
