Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate anterior chamber contamination during cataract surgery. Material and Methods: Eighty patients undergoing intraocular lens implantation with phacoemulsification (PHACO) and 64 patients undergoing intraocular lens implantation with extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) were studied. Anterior chamber aspirates were obtained from each patient at the beginning and end of surgery. Anterior chamber contamination rates and outcomes of the relation between contamination rate and type and duration of the operation were evaluated. Results: Bacterial growth was observed in 4 of the 80 eyes (5%) in PHACO group and 6 of the 64 eyes (9 %) in ECCE group. Coagulase-negative staphylococci was detected 4 of the 4 (%100) eyes in PHACO group and 5 of the 6 (% 83) eyes in ECCE group. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups according to bacterial growth rate(p=0.242). In PHACO group, mean operation time was 32.50±6.45 minutes and 30.65±6.79 minutes in culture positive and culture negative cases, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.614). In ECCE group, mean operation time was 43.33±6.05 and 33.53±6.42 minutes in culture positive and culture negative cases, respectively, but, the difference was statistically significant (p=0.009). There was no endophthalmitis in any of the eyes. Conclusion: Anterior chamber contamination may occur during PHACO and ECCE operations. Although, there was no statistically significance, anterior chamber contamination in eyes undergoing PHACO was lower than in those undergoing ECCE. Coagulase-negative staphylococci is the most common bacteria in both groups.

Özet

Amaç: Katarakt cerrahisi sırasında ön kamaranın mikrobiyal kontaminasyonunu değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Fakoemülsifikasyon (FAKO) operasyonu ile göz içi lens implantasyonu (GİL) yapılan 80 olgu ve ekstrakapsüler katarakt ekstraksiyonu (EKKE) ile GİL implantasyonu yapılan 64 olgudan operasyon başlangıcında ve sonunda ön kamara sıvısı alınarak mikrobial kontaminasyon oranı, kontaminasyon oranı ile operasyonun tipi ve süresi arasındaki ilişkilerin sonuçları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: FAKO operasyonu yapılan 80 gözün 4’ünde (%5), EKKE operasyonu yapılan 64 gözün 6’sında (%9) kültürde üreme saptandı. FAKO yapılan grupta 4 olguda (%100), EKKE yapılan grupta ise 5 olguda (%83) koagülaz negatif stafilokok üredi. Her iki grup arasında kültürde üreme sonuçları bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p=0.242). FAKO operasyonu yapılan olgularda kültürde üreme gösteren olgularda ortalama operasyon süresi 32.50±6.45 dakika, kültürde üreme göstermeyenlerde ise 30.65±6.79 dakika olup iki grup arasında operasyon süresi bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p=0.614). EKKE operasyonu yapılan olgularda kültürde üreme gösteren olgularda ortalama operasyon süresi 43.33±6.05 dakika, kültürde üreme göstermeyen olgularda ise 33.53±6.42 dakika olup iki grup arasında operasyon süresi bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı (p=0.009). Olgularımızın hiçbirinde postoperatif endoftalmi gelişmedi. Sonuç: FAKO ve EKKE operasyonları sırasında ön kamara kontaminasyonu meydana gelmektedir. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmamakla beraber FAKO operasyonlarında ön kamara kontaminasyonu EKKE’ye göre daha düşüktü. Her iki grupta en sık kontaminasyon etkeni koagülaz negatif stafilokoklardı.
