Phacoemulsification with hydrodelineation and OVD-assisted hydrodissection in posterior polar cataract

Abstract: BackgroundTo evaluate the results and complications of phacoemulsification with hydrodelineation and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD)-assisted hydrodissection for posterior polar cataract (PPC).MethodsMedical records of 24 eyes from 17 patients with clinical diagnosis of PPC, who underwent phacoemulsification with hydrodelineation and OVD-assisted hydrodissection, were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsThe incidence of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) was 16.67% (4/24): 2 cases occurred during epinucleus rem… Show more

“…Regular hydrodissection procedure with PPC carries the risk of PCR with nucleus drop and vitreous loss. 26 PCR affects the placement of the intraocular lens, which might necessitate a secondary posterior segment surgery. However, if diagnosed beforehand, surgeons can perform hydrodelineation instead of hydrodissection to avoid PCR.…”

“…Posterior capsular rupture is associated with cataract surgery, especially in patients with posterior opacification ( Hua et al., 2018 ). Several clinical studies have shown that the incidence of posterior capsule rupture accounts for more than 30% of posterior polar cataract surgeries ( Varadaraj et al., 1999 ; Das et al., 2008 ), which presents a big challenge for clinicians.…”
