Abstract

Purpose: To compare intraoperative parameters between conventionel and torsional phacoemulsification method for cata- ractous eyes. Materials and Method: Thirty-six eyes of 36 patients suffering from age-related cataract were enrolled in this compara- tive randomized masked clinical study. The eyes had nuclear cataracts of grades III using the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III). Lenses that had developed cataract were divided into 2 equal pieces by phacoemulsification. Phaco- emulsification was applied to first piece using conventional phaco and the second piece using torsional phaco technique. The pieces eaten by conventional mode phacoemulsification were named as group 1 and with torsional mode phacoemulsification as group 2. Parametric comparisons were made in terms of peroperative conventional and torsional total U/S time, total energy (U/STEPIP3%), CDE and aspiration time. Conclusions: The total U/S, CDE and aspiration time parameters of the torsional phacoemulsification method are found to be lower than those of the conventional method in a statistically significant way (p=0.002, p=0.018, p=0.046, respectively). Discussion: Torsional phacoemulsification technique is seen as a method more reliable and more effective method than the conventional method.

Özet

Amaç: Kataraktlı gözlerde, konvansiyonel fakoemülsifikasyon yöntemi ile torsiyonel fakoemülsifikasyon yöntemileri ara- sındaki peroperatif parametreleri karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu karşılaştırmalı randomize klinik çalışmaya, yaşa bağlı kataraktı olan 36 hastanın 36 gözü alındı. Grade 3 nükleer kataraktı olan gözlerin derecelendirilmesi Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) kullanılarak yapıldı. Katarakt oluşmuş lens fakoemülsifikasyonla eşit 2 parçaya ayrıldı. Birinci parçaya konvansiyonel fakoemülsifikas- yon, ikinci parçaya torsiyonel fakoemülsifikasyon uygulandı. Konvansiyonel mod fakoemülsifikasyon tedavisi uygulanan nükleus parçası grup 1, torsiyonel mod fakoemülsifikasyon uygulanan nükleus parçası grup 2 olarak değerlendirildi. Pe- roperatif konvansiyonel ve torsiyonel total U/S zamanı, total enerji (%U/STEPiP3), KYE ve aspirasyon zamanı açısından parametrik karşılaştırmalar yapıldı. Bulgular: Torsiyonel fakoemülsifikasyon yönteminde total U/S, KYE ve aspirasyon zamanı parametreleri, konvansiyonel yönteme göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde daha düşük bulundu (p=0.002, p=0.018, p=0.046). Tartışma: Torsiyonel fakoemülsifikasyon tekniği konvansiyonel yönteme göre, daha güvenilir ve efektif bir yöntem olarak görülmektedir.
