Abstract

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to examine complications of eyes that experienced conversions from phacoemulcification to extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) after cataract surgery.Materials and Method: For the purposes of this study, two groups of people were examined. The first group included 95 people whose eyes had been converted from phacoemulcification to ECCE and the second group included 99 people whose eyes experienced smooth phacoemulsification after they underwent surgery due to senile cataracts in our clinic. Both groups of patients were compared in terms of preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, ocular examination findings and complications. Results: The average age was 74.15±10.6 years in first group, 67.86±10.93 years in the second group. Causes of the conversion from phacoemulsification to ECCE were zonular dialysis in 32 of the eyes, posterior capsular rupture in 21 of the eyes, peripheral extension of the capsulorhexis in 20 of the eyes, trouble with phacoemulsification devices in 5 eyes, pupillary miosis in 5 eyes and very hard nucleus in 12 eyes. The increase in visual acuity after surgery in both groups was statistically significant (p=0.001).Conclusion: The results of these evolving techniques show that phacoemulsification cataract surgery is the preferred method because it shows better visual results and lower rates of complication. However, if complications occur during phacoemulsification surgery, good visual outcomes can be attained after the conversion from phacoemulsification to ECCE on time.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, katarakt ameliyatına fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi ile başlanıp ekstrakapsüler katarakt ekstraksiyonuna (EKKE) dönülen gözlerde görülen komplikasyonları ve görsel sonuçları irdelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde senil katarakt nedeniyle cerrahi uygulanan hastalardan fakoemülsifikasyon başlanıp EKKE'ye dönülmüş olan 95 göz birinci grup ve sorunsuz fakoemülsifikasyon yapılan 99 göz ikinci grup olarak alındı. Her iki gruptaki hastalar retrospektif olarak yaş, operasyon öncesi ve sonrası görme keskinlikleri, oküler muayene bulguları ve komplikasyonlar açısından karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Birinci grupta yaş ortalaması 74.15±10,6 ikinci grupta 67.86±10,93 yıl idi. Birinci grupta fakoemülsifikasyondan EKKE'ye dönme nedenleri 32 gözde zonül diyalizi, 21 gözde arka kapsül rüptürü, 20 gözde kapsüloreksisin perifere kaçması, 5 gözde fakoemülsifikasyon cihazındaki arızalar, 5 gözde pupiller miyozis, 12 gözde ise nükleusun çok sert olması idi. Her iki grupta cerrahi öncesine göre cerrahi sonrası görme keskinliğindeki artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p=0,001). Sonuç: Günümüz katarakt cerrahisinde gelişen teknikler sonucu fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi daha iyi görsel sonuçlar ve daha düşük komplikasyon oranları nedeniyle tercih edilen yöntem olmuştur. Ancak Fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi esnasında komplikasyon gelişirse ameliyatı tamamlamak için zamanında EKKE'ye dönülmesi iyi görsel sonuçlar ortaya çıkarabilir.
