Managing dislocated hard lens nuclei: 23-gauge vitrectomy and lens extraction via a corneoscleral limbal incision versus 23-gauge vitrectomy and phacofragmentation.
Journal of cataract and refractive surgery(2019)
摘要
PURPOSE:To compare 23-gauge vitrectomy and lens extraction via a corneoscleral limbal incision (CSLI) with 23-gauge vitrectomy and phacofragmentation to treat dislocation of hard lens nuclei.
SETTING:Ningbo Eye Hospital, Zhejiang, China.
DESIGN:Retrospective case series.
METHODS:The study included consecutive patients with complete posterior dislocation of a hard nucleus (grade ≥ IV) into the vitreous cavity. All patients received 23-gauge 3-channel vitrectomy. Some patients also had phacofragmentation and others had lens extraction through a CSLI.
RESULTS:The CSLI group comprised 21 eyes of 21 patients and the phacofragmentation group, 22 eyes of 22 patients. The median follow-up was 10.8 months (range 6 to 24 months) and 11.3 months (range 5 to 18 months), respectively. Demographic characteristics, reason for lens dislocation, preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), lens nucleus grade, and comorbidities were similar between groups. The CSLI group had a shorter mean surgical time than the phacofragmentation group (42.5 ± 7.2 minutes versus 68.2 ± 16.5 minutes); less frequent use of perfluorocarbon liquid, octafluoropropane, or air tamponade; lower incidence of retinal tears (9.5% versus 31.8%); and better CDVA but worse astigmatism 1 day and 1 week postoperatively (P < .05). The postoperative IOP did not differ between groups. Corneal edema and recurrent retinal detachment were less common in the CSLI group than in the phacofragmentation group.
CONCLUSION:The 23-gauge vitrectomy with lens extraction through a CSLI might have advantages over 23-gauge vitrectomy with phacofragmentation for management of dislocated hard lens nuclei.
