ΟΨΙΜΕΣ ΜΕΤΕΓΧΕΙΡΗΤΙΚΕΣ ΕΠΙΠΛΟΚΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΦΑΙΡΕΣΗΣ ΤΟΥ ΚΑΤΑΡΡΑΚΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΠΑΙΔΙΚΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΝΕΑΝΙΚΗΣ ΗΛΙΚΙΑΣ: ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΕΠΙ 392 ΟΦΘΑΛΜΩΝ

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS: 1) TO FIND THE LATE POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF THE ASPIRATION OF CHILDHOOD CATARACTS, AND TO STUDY THE INCIDENCE OF THESE COMPLICATIONS AS WELL AS THE PROBABLE ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT, 2) TO COMPARE THREE MAJOR MODIFICATIONS OF THE ASPIRATION TECHNIQUE, AS FAR AS THE LATE POST- OPERATVE COMPLICATIONS ARE CONCERNED. THE POST-OPERATIVE COURSE OF 392 EYES, OPERATED WITH THE ASPIRATION TECHNIQUE WAS STUDIED. THE MODIFICATIONS OF THIS TECHNIQUE USED WERE: A) ASPIRATION WITH A SPECIAL SYRINGE. INTACT POSTERIOR LENS CAPSULE, B) ASPIRATION WITH THE ROTOEXTRACTOR. SMALL CENTRAL HOLE IN THE POSTERIOR LENS CAPSULE, AND C) ASPIRATION WITH THE OCUTOME. SUBTOTAL EXCISION OF THE POSTERIOR LENS CAPSULE AND SMALL ANTERIOR VITRECTOMY. THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY AND THEIR COMPARISON WITH RESULTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED LED TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: 1) THE MAJOR LATE POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS ARE THE SECONDARY MEMBRANE FORMATION, THE CHRONIC GLAUCOMA AND THE RETINAL DETACHMENT, 2) THE SUBTOTAL EXCISION OF THE POSTERIOR LENS CAPSULE DURING THE INITIAL ASPIRATION PROCEDURE, IS THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THE SECONDARY MEMBRANE FORMATION AND THE NEED FOR RE- OPERATION, 3) THE PERSISTENT INTRAOCULAR INFLAMMATION, AS A RESULT OF RESIDUAL CORTEX, IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POST-OPERATIVE GLAUCOMA, 4) THE RETINAL DETACHMENT IN THESE EYES, APPEARS TO BE ETIOLOGICALLY CONNECTED WITH THE DISTURBANCE OF THE VITREOUS BODY, 5) THE NEW SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE ASPIRATION OF CHILDHOOD CATARACTS APPEARS TO DECREASE THE INCIDENCE OF LATE POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS.
