Staining of vitreous with triamcinolone acetonide in retained lens surgery with phacofragmentation

Staining of the vitreous material with triamcinolone acetonide during vitrectomy and phacofragmentation surgery for luxated nuclei helped in total removal of the vitreous body, thus preventing the aspiration of peripheral vitreous fibrils by the phaco tip, which might induce retinal detachment intraoperatively or postoperatively.
