Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the results of cataract phacoemulsification (СPE) with silicone oil (SO) removal through posterior capsulorhexis (PC)

Setting:

State Autonomous healthcare institution of the Sverdlovsk region "Sverdlovsk regional clinical hospital No. 1", Yekaterinburg, Russia

Methods:

The study involved 15 patients aged 45-76 years with cataracts, avitria, SO in the vitreal cavity. which were divided into 3 groups. The average visual acuity before surgery was 0.06 ± 0.02. In I group 5 patients underwent CPE with the removal of a residual portion of SO through the PC using a vitreotome. In II group 5 patients underwent CPE with the removal of SO through the PC with a diameter of 4 mm. In III group 5 patients underwent CPE with the removal of SO by a designed cannula through the PC with a diameter of 3 mm.

Results:

The average index of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in 3 groups after treatment was 0.2-0.3. After the operation, according to the B-scan data, the retina is lying down, and there were no residual portions of silicone oil in all cases. All patients noted a significant improvement in visual acuity and quality of life. The duration of operations did not exceed 47 minutes

Conclusions:

The results of CPE with the removal of SO residues through the PC were studied. This technique allows to increase the degree of satisfaction of patients after treatment. The removal of SO through the PC with a diameter of 4 mm was tested after CPE. This technique allows to remove the remains of SO in a larger volume. Testing of removal of SO through the PC with a diameter of 3 mm. using the developed 18 Ga aspiration cannula after CPE. This technique reduces the operation time and allows to remove the remains of SO in a larger volume
