ASCRS White Paper: What is the association between clear corneal cataract incisions and postoperative endophthalmitis?
The relationship between unsutured clear corneal tunnel incisions and an increased incidence of infection after cataract surgery remains uncertain; however, there is a growing concern and body of evidence regarding a potential causal association. Although 2 large recent studies from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute report no greater incidence of endophthalmitis with corneal incisions than with s...
متن کاملDynamic morphology of clear corneal cataract incisions.
OBJECTIVE Clear corneal cataract incisions without sutures allow for rapid visual rehabilitation after phacoemulsification but might be associated with an increased risk of postoperative infection. The goal of this study was to examine in vitro dynamic changes in unhealed clear corneal cataract incisions that might adversely affect the risk of intraocular infection. DESIGN Laboratory investig...
متن کاملTransconjunctival single-plane sclerocorneal incisions versus clear corneal incisions in cataract surgery.
PURPOSE To compare a transconjunctival single-plane sclerocorneal incision with 2 tiny conjunctival cuts at both ends and a clear corneal incision (CCI) in cataract surgery. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. METHODS Patients having routine cataract surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups based on incision type; th...
متن کاملScar tissue orientation in unsutured and sutured corneal wound healing.
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate stromal wound healing morphology in short term unsutured compared with sutured corneal wounds, to define regional variation in healing within radial keratotomy wounds. METHODS Stromal scar tissue orientation (fibroblast and collagen fibre orientation) was analysed in unsutured and adjacent sutured keratotomy wounds in monkeys, 2 to 9 weeks after surgery, usin...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical analysis of unsutured and sutured corneal wound healing.
In the unsutured partial thickness penetrating wounds of the cornea, the epithelium migrates over the wounded stromal surface prior to the onset of stromal regeneration. To determine the possible affects of the epithelial ingrowth on the organization of the stromal scar tissues, the healing of unsutured and sutured wounds was compared immunohistochemically. Immunostaining patterns for fibronect...
