In the type of crurotarsal ankle, which is found in crocodilians and some other archosaurs, the astragalus is fixed to the tibia by a suture, and the joint bends around a peg on the astragalus, which fits into a socket in the calcaneum.
Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa. [1] Eye surgery is part of ophthalmology and is performed by an ophthalmologist or eye surgeon.

Stay sutures are temporary surgical sutures which are placed during operation to hold or manipulate the operating area. In cases of ocular surgery, [1] tracheostomy, [2] suprapubic cystolithotomy, appendicectomy, ureterolithotomy, or choledocholithotomy stay sutures can be given. They can be used to temporarily align a structure to stabilize it.
Spring forceps are small scissors used mostly in eye surgery or microsurgery. The handles end in flat springs connected with a pivot joint.

Palpebral sutures – are sutures which form part of the dorsal facial suture running along the top edges of the compound eye.
MSICS is a procedure that was developed to reduce costs in comparison with phacoemulsification, which requires expensive high-tech equipment that needs skilled maintenance, and is relatively unsuited to less developed regions, and to eliminate the need for suturing the incision, by using a self-sealing incision.
