To introduce a new surgical technique, air-bubble technique for the management of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the technique.
A retrospective case series analysis of 24 eyes of 24 patients, in which the air bubble technique was used for the management of PCR, was performed. Once PCR occurred, a dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) was injected into the tear. And small volumes (0.2-0.3 mL) of air bubbles were injected beneath the OVD. The air bubble served as a physical barrier and supported the posterior capsule.
After surgery, none of the patients had serious complications during the follow-up period of 1y. Extension of the PCR size occurred in only 2 cases, and additional OVD injection was required only in 3 cases. Air bubbles imparted great stability to the nuclear pieces and the posterior capsule.
The air-bubble technique may be considered a safe and effective procedure for managing a PCR. It may be of value to the inexperienced cataract surgeon.
介绍一种用于处理后囊膜破裂(PCR)的新手术技术——气泡技术,并评估该技术的安全性和有效性。
对24例患者的24只眼进行回顾性病例系列分析,这些患者采用气泡技术处理PCR。一旦发生PCR,将分散性眼科粘弹剂(OVD)注入破口处。然后在OVD下方注入少量(0.2 - 0.3 mL)气泡。气泡作为物理屏障支撑后囊膜。
术后,所有患者在1年的随访期内均未出现严重并发症。仅2例PCR面积扩大,仅3例需要额外注入OVD。气泡使核块和后囊膜具有很高的稳定性。
气泡技术可被认为是处理PCR的一种安全有效的方法。它可能对经验不足的白内障手术医生有价值。
