Objective To present the surgical outcome of posterior chamber intraocular lens scleral fixation using a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless technique in aphakic patients due to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular support. Methods Six consecutive patients with aphakia due to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular bag support were operated by two surgeons. Intraocular lens scleral fixation was performed with a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless technique. Patients were followed-up for 12 months. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities were assessed with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts and expressed in decimals. Results All patients showed statistically significant best-corrected visual acuity improvement and excellent anatomic results. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.17 (range of 0.1–0.2). Mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.84 (range of 0.63–1.00). Mean initial spherical equivalent refractive error was +11.85 (range of +9.00 to +15.00). Mean final spherical equivalent refractive error was –0.25 (range of –1.25 to +2.25). There were no postoperative complications during the whole follow-up. Conclusion Fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens using a 27-gauge trocar-assisted transconjunctival sutureless intrascleral technique is an excellent option for aphakic patients secondary to cataract surgery complications with inadequate capsular support.

Cataract Surgery Complications

Vitreoretinal surgery is evolving to a smaller size since first described. After the first vitrectomy probe defined as 17 Gauge (G), a smaller gauge (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G) vitrectomy probes and trocars were identified. Even though 20G vitrectomy has been used for many years, thinner and less traumatic vitrectomy systems are developed and 20G has lost popularity. Hybrid use of 20G and other systems remains current, especially in cases such as endophthalmitis, intraocular foreign body removal, and cataract surgery complications.

Cataract Surgery Complications

The purpose of this study was to measure the extent to which complications relating to cataract surgery are a cause of visual impairment in a population aged 50 and over from the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil. An assessment of cataract surgery services was conducted using random cluster sampling, with the sample composed of 60 clusters of 40 people aged 50 years or older. Of the selected sample of 2,400 subjects, 92.67% were examined. Of these 2,224 examined subjects, 75 (3.37%) presented bilateral visual impairment and 164 unilateral, while a total of 314 (7.06%) eyes presented visual impairment. 352 eyes had undergone cataract surgery. The causes of visual impairment after surgery were concurrent eye disease (56%), surgical complications (28.8%) and refractive errors (15.2%). Cataract surgery complications represented the 5th most important cause of visual impairment. The other main causes were cataract, posterior segment disorders, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. These results suggest cataract surgery complications are a major cause of visual impairment in this population. Their prevention and treatment must be part of public health care policies.
