To present a series of patients who had 21-gauge microphacoemulsification using Sovereign WhiteStar technology.
John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Eighteen consecutive patients with cataracts judged to be 3+ or 4+ on a 4-point scale were prospectively monitored for complications, energy used during phacoemulsification, and results 1 day and 3 months postoperatively.
No complications occurred during nucleus removal. On a 4-point scale, the mean level of inflammation at 1 day was 0.9 +/- 0.5 (SD), with 13 patients having no corneal edema. Seven patients had an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better on the first postoperative day. At 3 months, all corneas were clear, there was no sign of anterior chamber inflammation, and all patients had a best corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better (best-case analysis).
Results show that 21-gauge microphacoemulsification with Sovereign WhiteStar technology is safe and effective for removal of hard cataracts.
介绍一系列使用Sovereign WhiteStar技术进行21G微切口白内障超声乳化术的患者。
美国犹他州盐湖城犹他大学医学院约翰·A·莫兰眼科中心。
对连续18例经4级分级判定为3+或4+级白内障患者进行前瞻性监测,观察并发症、超声乳化术中使用的能量以及术后1天和3个月的结果。
核取出过程中未发生并发症。在4级分级中,术后1天炎症平均水平为0.9±0.5(标准差),13例患者无角膜水肿。7例患者术后第一天未矫正视力达到20/40或更佳。3个月时,所有角膜均透明,无前房炎症迹象,所有患者最佳矫正视力达到20/25或更佳(最佳情况分析)。
结果表明,采用Sovereign WhiteStar技术的21G微切口白内障超声乳化术对于摘除硬核白内障安全有效。
