We describe a standing phacoemulsification technique (SPT) with the patient in reverse Trendelenburg position (RTP) as a means of performing surgery in morbidly obese patients. These patients have elevated vitreous pressure, leading to a high rate of posterior capsule rupture and vitreous loss. The SPT with RTP normalizes vitreous pressure, facilitating cataract surgery.
我们描述了一种让患者处于头高脚低位(RTP)的直立式超声乳化技术(SPT),作为对病态肥胖患者进行手术的一种方法。这些患者玻璃体压力升高,导致后囊破裂和玻璃体丢失的发生率很高。采用RTP的SPT可使玻璃体压力正常化,便于进行白内障手术。
