Continuous curvilinear (circular) capsulorhexis and planned extracapsular cataract extraction--are they compatible?
The successful use of continuous curvilinear (circular) capsulorhexis (CCC) in planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) is dependent on the feasibility of safe nuclear delivery through the smaller anterior capsular opening. Experimental evidence supports the proposition that the anterior capsular rim can stretch without tearing to dimensions which allow for safe nucleus delivery. Clinic...
متن کامل"Iris-assisted," open-sky, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis technique for combined cataract extraction and corneal transplantation.
The authors describe "iris-assisted," open-sky, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) in a triple procedure combining corneal transplantation, cataract extraction, and intraocular lens implantation. They do not use miotics or mydriatics. Patients receive oral acetazolamide (250 mg), intravenous mannitol (5 mL/kg), and Honan balloon at 30 mm Hg for 20 to 30 minutes before surgery. After tre...
متن کاملNovel device for creating continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis
PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel capsulorhexis system. SETTING Mechatronics Laboratory, University of Erciyes and Kayseri Maya Eye Hospital. DESIGN A 3D model was created and simulations were conducted to develop a new device which was designed, fabricated and tested for continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). The name of this system is the electro-mechanical caps...
متن کاملNeuroleptanalgesia and extracapsular cataract extraction.
Peribulbar and retrobulbar anaesthesia are commonly used techniques in cataract extraction. They offer satisfactory analgesia and akinesia but serious complications although uncommon are consistently reported. Intravenous sedation combined with a facial nerve block offers an alternative method of anaesthesia. This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent extracapsular cataract extract...
متن کاملExtracapsular cataract extraction - some problems.
Comments are made on the method of removing the anterior capsule during the performance of extracapsular cataract operations. The difficulty of performing this manoeuvre adequately is emphasised. Observations carried out during the postoperative period by means of the slit-lamp revealed some hitherto undescribed changes in the capsule. The edge of the anterior capsule can be clearly seen and lo...
