Abstract

Femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has become the safer surgical intervention in creation of precise anterior capsulotomycompared to the manual capsulorhexis by ophthalmologists in the past years. Herein, we report a corneal endothelial hit and cut complicationduring femtosecond laser–assisted capsulotomy. During the laser procedure the suction ring lost adhesion, but the laser continued to fi ringcausing misaligned cut at the corneal endothelial layer. The cataract surgery was performed manually and an intraocular lens was implantedwithout any complication. The misaligned cuts along the inner layer of the cornea were visible at the postoperative period, but there were novisual consequences. The surgeon should be cautious in this unexpected and undesired complication at all critical steps during FLACS.

Özet

Femtosaniye lazer katarakt cerrahisi (FLACS), geçtiğimiz yıllarda cerrah tarafından yapılan manuel kapsüloreksis ile karşılaştırıldığında, kusursuz ön kapsülotominin oluşturulmasında daha güvenli bir cerrahi girişim haline gelmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda femtosaniye lazer kapsülotomi sırasında korneal endotelyal kesi komplikasyonunun geliştiğini bildirmekteyiz. Lazer işlemi sırasında vakum halkası gevşedi, buna rağmen lazer atış yapmaya devam ederek ve yanlış yönlenerek kornea endotel tabakasında kesiye neden oldu. Katarakt cerrahisi manuel olarak gerçekleştirildi ve intraoküler lens komplikasyonsuz implante edildi. Korneanın iç tabakasındaki kesi hattı ameliyat sonrası dönemde görülmeye devam etse de görme keskinliğini etkilemedi. Cerrah, femtosaniye lazer kapsülotomi sırasında tüm kritik aşamalarda bu beklenmedik ve istenmeyen komplikasyona dikkat etmelidir.
