Abstract

Background: To define near-total posterior capsulotomy instead of partial posterior capsulotomy with lens aspiration and anterior vitrectomy in congenital cataract surgery.Materials and Methods: The research was carried out in a tertiary care center. Eleven patients who underwent near-total posterior capsulotomy, lens aspiration, and anterior vitrectomy surgery for treatment of congenital cataract between January 2010 and September 2018 were included in the study. Lenticular leukocoria was accepted as an indication for surgery. Patients who were older than six months at diagnosis and had a follow-up time of less than six months were excluded from the research. Surgical success was defined as the presence of a clear central visual axis in postoperative 6th months.Results: The study included 22 eyes from 11 cataract surgery patients due to congenital cataracts. Both eyes of all patients underwent surgery in the same session. At the time of diagnosis, the average age of the patients was 2.89 ± 1.8 months, and at the time of surgery, the mean age of the patients was 3.70 ± 1.84 months. The average follow-up time was 16.54 ± 14.96 (8-48) months. Intraoperative complications did not occur in any patient. Visual axis opacification was not observed in any patient during the follow-up.Conclusions: Near-total posterior capsulotomy is an easy and safe surgical technique. It could reduce the visual axis opacification.

Özet

Amaç: Konjenital katarakt cerrahisinde lens aspirasyonu ve anterior vitrektomiye ile birlikte uygulanan parsiyel posterior kapsülotomi yerine totale yakın posterior kapsülotomi yaklaşımını tanımlamak.
