Comparison of Phaco Energy and Complications for Conventional Phacoemulsification and 25-gauge Phacovitrectomy Surgery
Journal Title: Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: To compare cumulative dissipated energy (CED), intraoperative and postoperative complications in eyes underwent conventional phacoemulsification and 25-Gauge phacovitrectomy surgery. Study Design: Retrospective, comparative case series in ophthalmology clinic of Ulucanlar Eye Education and Research Hospital. Methodology: A total of 140 eyes underwent conventional phacoemulsification and 25-Gauge phacovitrectomy surgeries were evaluated. CDE intraoperative, early and late postoperative surgical outcomes were compared. Results: No one had any intraoperative complication in either group. But the mean CDE was statistically significantly higher in combine group (15.07±8.04) than that in phaco group (11.60±7.98). Even these difference postoperative clinical outcomes were not statistically significant in each group. Conclusion: The single session combined phacovitrectomy surgery is safe and effective technique in cases that presents with both cataract and retinal disease.
