PHACO NIGHTMARES Posterior Capsular Rupture
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Any breach in the continuity of the posterior capsule is defined as a posterior capsule tear. Intrasurgical posterior capsule tears are the most common and can occur during any stage of cataract surgery. 1-3 The incidence of posterior capsule complications is related to the type of cataract and conditions of the eye, increases with the grade of difficulty of the case, and furthermore is influenced by the surgeon’s level of experience. Timely recognition and a planned management, depending upon the stage of surgery during which the posterior capsule tear has occurred, is required to ensure an optimal visual outcome.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective 5-year study based on general and ophthalmic history records, and including 268 eyes (174 patients), aged 50 years and over. Ophthalmological examination involved visual acuity, measuring of intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Type of surgical treatment was tailored for each patient (extra capsular cataract extraction, phac...
متن کاملAn Outcome Analysis of Posterior Capsular Rent (PCR) In The Hands of A Senior Phaco Surgeon
Posterior capsular rent is a common complication of cataract surgery including phacoemulsification. Though occurrence is higher with beginners, it can also occur in the hands of a senior phaco surgeon. This study analyses the predisposing risk factors, intraoperative events, mode of occurrence, management strategy and eventual outcome of Posterior capsular rent during phacoemulsification by a s...
متن کاملCataract Surgery Focus on Phaco Systems
We cataract surgeons and our patients continue to benefit from ongoing improvements in phaco technology. Because cataract surgery is already such a fast and efficient operation, we are primarily interested in new technologies that can expand our margin of safety—particularly in eyes with dense nuclei and weak zonules. Historically, our three main safety-related concerns with phacoemulsification...
متن کاملManaging Residual Lens Material After Posterior Capsular Rupture
After posterior capsule rupture, removal of residual lens material is a challenging but important goal. Sequential, interdependent strategies to accomplish this include the Viscoat PAL, the Viscoat Trap, bimanual pars plana anterior vitrectomy, and bimanual irrigation–aspiration of cortex. Once brought into the anterior chamber, the nucleus can be removed either with phacoemulsification above a...

BACKGROUND Non Phaco suture less cataract extraction through temporal approach retains most of the advantages of phacoemulsification but can be delivered at lower cost with better visual out come. METHODS Extra capsular cataract extraction followed by posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was performed, on 300 eyes of 250 patients. The technique involved was posterior limbal corneal...
