Small Incision

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an important ocular manifestation of a systemic disease, found to be common in cataract patients as well as in 50% of glaucoma patients. Present study was intended to assess the profile of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and evaluate the surgical outcome of Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery in Pseudoexfoliative eyes. Material and Methods: Present study was prospective, observational, hospital-based study, conducted in patients with age more than 50 years, with Pseudoexfoliation, admitted for cataract surgery, posted for Manual Small incision cataract surgery(MSICS). All patients underwent a manual small incision cataract surgery, and visual outcomes of the procedures were recorded on the first postoperative day. Results: In present study, maximum numbers of patients were from the age group of 70-79 years (62.5%) and 56 (70%) patients were males and 24 (30%) were females. In this study of 80 patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, 60 patients had Bilateral Pseudoexfoliation i.e. 120 eyes (85.71%) while 20 patients had Unilateral Pseudoexfoliation i.e. 20 eyes (14.29%). In majority of the eyes 111 (79.29%) had involvement of lens with Pseudoexfoliation while 109 (77.86%) had pupillary involvement. Mean Anterior Chamber Depth in Pseudoexfoliative eyes was 2.50±0.22 mm. Majority of the eyes i.e. 74 (52.9%) were having IOP between 16 – 20 mm Hg. 61 eyes (43.6%) had IOP between 11 – 15 mm Hg. 80 eyes of 80 patients underwent MSICS, 17 (21.25%) patients developed Intraoperative Complications. Conclusion: There is significant association between Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and age, male preponderance and bilateral involvement of eyes. MSICS provides significant improvement in visual outcome in patients with Pseudoexfoliation syndrome with cataract.

Introduction: Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is a cost-effective alternative to phacoemulsification cataract surgery for developing countries. This prospective study was carried out in Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Chittagong from October 2009 to March 2011 on 75 cataract patients who were operated by MSICS technique. Objectives: Aim of this study was to assess the visual outcome and complications of MSICS in a peripheral CMH. Methods: Seventy five cataract patients were operated by MSICS technique. All surgical procedures were performed by the principal author. Major per-operative and postoperative complications were documented. Visual outcome was assessed by Snellen’s visual acuity test 06 weeks after operation. Results: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 6/6 – 6/18 in 57 (76.0%) patients, < 6/18 – 6/60 in 15 (20%) and < 6/60 in 03 (4.0%) patients. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/6-6/18 in 65 (86.7%) patients, < 6/18-6/60 in 07 (9.3%) and < 6/60 in 03(4.0%) patients. Visual outcome was good in 86.7% of patients according to World Health Orgnization (WHO) criteria and was not far away from the WHO expected outcome. Posterior capsule rupture was the most significant per-operative complication which was found in 7(9.3%) cases and surgically induced astigmatism was main postoperative complication that affected visual outcome. Mean postoperative astigmatism (against-the rule) was - 1.25DC. 14 JAFMC Bangladesh. Vol 10, No 1 (June) 2014 Conclusion: MSICS is a safe and cost-effective technique of extra-capsular cataract extraction where surgical skill and experience of the surgeon plays a significant role in the result.

Introduction: The small-incision cataract surgery is gaining popularity among the ophthalmic surgeons. Objective: To compare the visual outcome of conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in a hospital based community cataract program. Materials and methods: A prospective interventional study without randomization was carried out including the patients undergoing cataract surgery by either conventional ECCE or manual SICS. They were followed up for 6 weeks postoperatively. The visual outcomes were compared between the two groups. Statistics: The statistical program Epi-Info version 2000 was used to analyze the data. Mean values with standard deviations, 95% CI and p value were calculated. The p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of 85 patients, 44 (M: F=10:34) underwent ECCE and 41 (M: F=15:26) SICS (RR= 0.71, 95% CI=0.42-1.2, p value=0.16). Unaided visual acuity on the 1st postoperative day in the ECCE group was e"6/ 18 in 22.7%,<6/18-6/60 in 63.6 %,< 6/60 in 13.7%, whereas in the SICS group, the same was e"6/18 in 70.7%,<6/18-6/60 in 22 %,< 6/60 in 7.3% (95% CI = 0.23 - 0.48, p=0.001). Best corrected visual acuity on the 6th week follow-up in the ECCE group was e"6/18 in 79.5%,<6/18-6/60 in 18.2 %,< 6/60 in 2.3% and in the SICS group the same was 6/18 in 90.5% and <6/18-6/60 in 4.9% (95% CI=0.44 - 0.73; p=0.0012). Conclusion: Both ECCE and SICS are good procedures for hospital based community cataract surgery but within the 6 weeks postoperative period SICS gives better visual outcome. Remarkably higher number of female patients can be provided service in a hospital based community cataract programme as compared to males.
