Anterior chamber bacterial contamination in cataract surgery
BACKGROUND The incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis has reduced during last several years to <0.01%; however, its associated complications continue to be devastating. Several sources of infection, including contamination by air, solutions, surgical instruments, intraocular lens, and wound leakage have been identified. The objective of this study was to evaluate the surgical technique, ant...
متن کاملPearls on anterior vitrectomy for cataract surgeons
With up to 6% of cataract surgeries complicated by vitreous loss,1 anterior vitrectomy is an essential skill of today’s cataract surgeon. Although the incidence of this complication is predictably higher in patients with complex cataracts due to pseudoexfoliation, intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, or posterior polar or dense cataracts, vitreous loss can occur unexpectedly in any case. To dec...
متن کاملPeroperative microbial contamination of anterior chamber aspirates during extracapsular cataract extraction and phacoemulsification.
BACKGROUND The normal conjunctival flora is one of the main sources of intraocular contamination during cataract surgery. The theory that the positive anterior chamber (AC) pressure during phacoemulsification (phaco), and the smaller wound utilised, might reduce the rate of contamination was studied. METHODS The peroperative AC aspirates of 210 consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery...
متن کاملVitrectomy technique in anterior segment surgery.
Instruments designed primarily for vitreous surgery were used in 74 anterior segment operations. In each case the instrument was introduced into the eye through a limbal incision. This preliminary report shows that this new approach offers several advantages over conventional methods in selected cases. It is of particular value in the management of presenile and complicated cataracts and in the...
متن کاملTrimanual Anterior Vitrectomy: A Novel Technique to Manage Vitreous Loss during Phacoemulsification
We report 2 cases illustrating the use of a new technique to manage vitreous loss during phacoemulsification, which we have termed 'trimanual' anterior vitrectomy. In each case, after recognizing posterior capsule tear, the remaining nuclear pieces were removed with low-parameter phacoemulsification. The remaining cortical material was then removed using bimanual irrigation and aspiration handp...
