Abstract
Aim: The aim was to present the outcomes of phacoemulsificationsurgery with dominant and non-dominant hands.Methods: Eighty eyes of 72 patients undergoingphacoemulsification with a temporal clear corneal incisionwere included in the study by reviewing their medical recordsand were divided into two groups. Forty of operated eyes wereright eyes and forty were left ones. We operated right eyes withdominant (right) hand, and left eyes with non-dominant (left)hand through a temporal clear corneal tunnel. The patients werefollowed up at week 1 st and month 1 st and 3rd. Keratometryand specular microscopy were performed preoperatively, atmonth 1 st and 3rd after surgery. We recorded the total volumeof fluid used, phaco time and cumulative dissipated energy. Wecalculated surgically-induced astigmatism using vector analysis.Results: There was no statistically significant differencein intraoperative and postoperative outcomes betweenphacoemulsification surgeries performed with dominant andnon-dominant hands.Conclusion: Phacoemulsification surgeries can be carried outwith non-dominant hand and with excellent outcomes.
Özet
Amaç: Sağ ve sol el ile yapılan fakoemülsifikasyon sonuçlarımızı sunmaktır. Yöntemler: Kliniğimizde temporal korneal insizyonla katarakt operasyonu olan 72 hastanın 80 gözü dahil edilmiştir. Kırk göz sağ el ile, 40 göz sol el ile opere edilmiştir. Hastaların 1 hafta,1 ay ve 3 ay sonra takipleri yapılmıştır. Hastalar 1. ve 3. ay kontrollerinde keratometri ve speküler mikroskopi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Fakoemülsifikasyon zamanı, kümülatif kullanılan enerji, total kullanılan sıvı kaydedilmiştir. Cerrahi ile indüklenen astigmatizma vektör analizi kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Sağ ve sol el ile yapılan fakoemülsifikasyonlarda; intra ve postoperatif sonuçlar istatistiksel farklılık göstermemiştir. Sonuç: Fakoemülsifikasyon; dominant-olmayan el ile de yapıldığı zaman iyi sonuçlar çıkabilir.
