Core Tip

Core Tip: Eyeball penetrating injury refers to an open trauma that may allow the exposure of any vulnerant into the eye from one side, and penetrates the entire eyeball and traverses through the other side of the eyeball. Eyeball penetrating injury wounds are divided into entry wound and exit wound. The laceration at the exit wound is often located at the posterior position and is difficult to suture during the first-stage surgery, and any attempt to a reckless suture may cause even greater damage to the eyeball. Thus, our report describes a newly modified technique involving the use of autologous tenon capsule packing to treat the posterior exit wound of penetrating injury.
