Complications by suture type.

	Suture Type
Complication*	10-0 Polypropylene	9-0 Nylon	8-0 Polytetrafluoroethylene	9-0 Polypropylene	P Value†
PCO, n (%)
No	1 (100)	1 (100)	28 (50)	1 (12.5)	.0627

IOL = intraocular lens; PCO = posterior capsule opacification; UGH = uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema

^*n = number of eyes in specified group; all analyses were based on available data

^†Significant probability was associated with Fisher exact test of the null hypothesis that there was no association between suture type (8-0 polytetrafluoroethylene/9-0 polypropylene) and each complication; the assumption was made that in the overall sample, all operated eyes were independent observations
