Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy in patients with dropped nucleus during phacoemulsification. Materials and Methods: Pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy were applied to 24 eyes with dropped nucleus during phacoemulsification. 22 of the eyes were operated in the same session, while one eye 3 days and the other eye 1 week after the cataract surgery. Patients were followed up ranging between 6months to 2 years (Average: 13.3 months). Results: Postoperative best corrected visual acuity was equal or better than 1/10 in 17 patients (%70.8). In 19 patients (%79.1) postoperative best corrected visual acuity was better than the preoperative level. There was no change in the visual acuity of 2 (%8.33) and a decrease in the visual acuity of 3 patients (%12.5). Macular edema was detected in 3 patients (%12.5) and epimacular membrane in 1 patient (%4.1). Conclusion: Poor visual outcome, in patients with dropped nucleus during phacoemulsification can be prevented by pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy.

Özet

Amaç: Fakoemulsifikasyonla katarakt cerrahisi sırasında vitreus kavitesine lens nükleusu düşen olgularda pars plana vitrektomi ve lensektominin sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Fakoemülsifikasyon sırasında nükleusun vitreus kavitesine düştüğü 24 olguya pars plana vitrektomi ve lensektomi uygulandı. 22 göz aynı seansta, bir göz katarakt cerrahisinden üç gün sonra, diğer göz ise bir hafta sonra ameliyat edildi. Hastalar 6 ay ile 2 yıl (ortalama:13.3 ay) süreyle takip edildi. Bulgular: Postoperatif en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği 17 hastada (%70.8) 1/10 ve üzerinde bulundu.19 hastanın (%79.1) postoperatif en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliğinde preoperatif değere göre artış oldu. 2 hastanın (%8.33) görme düzeyi değişmezken, 3 hastanın (%12.5) görme düzeyi azaldı. 3 hastada (%12.5) makula ödemi, bir hastada da (%4.1) epima küler membran saptandı. Sonuç: Fakoemülsifikasyon sırasında vitreus kavitesine lens nükleusu düşen olgularda kötü görme sonuçları pars plana vitrektomi ve lensektomi ile engellenebilir.
