Bilateral paediatric cataract surgery in the same session

Abstract

Purpose To evaluate the results of bilateral paediatric cataract surgery in the same session with a focus on patient selection criteria, operative guidelines, and controversial issues. Setting

Safety and Perioperative Outcomes of Immediate Versus Delayed Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery in the Pediatric Population: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

“…While pediatric data on this endpoint are sparse, the available pediatric case series by Totan et al. shows no bilateral infections, or serious adverse outcomes, suggesting that with strict aseptic precautions the risk of complications can be minimized [20].…”

Safety of simultaneous bilateral intraocular surgery under general anesthesia in pediatric patients

“…Same-day or immediately sequential, BCS is being practiced with increasing frequency worldwide. [56789] It is believed to offer several benefits for the patient and the patient's family, including greater convenience and it aims to repair the visual system, rather than one eye, by restoring normal binocularity. Another speculated advantage for SBIS is the reduction in expenses it offers to the patient, the medical system, and therefore to society.…”

“…SBIS in children has been studied by several authors. [56891415] In a large study that included 109 simultaneous bilateral primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy for developmental glaucoma, there was no sight-threatening complication, including endophthalmitis. Observed complications were mainly anesthetic-related.…”
