Small gauge surgery or sutureless surgery is gaining widespread popularity. Incision making is the key to the success of achieving a good postoperative wound. Various techniques have evolved related to the incision making and this video discusses the steps of making a good incision. Significance of retracting the conjunctiva using a stabiliser and then placing a biplanar incision are demonstrated. Steps to acheive a good incision closure at the time of removal of cannulas and giving pressure on the wounds using a flat indentor are also discussed.
