Objective To observe surgical outcomes and influencing factors of retinal detachment (RD) after phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods The clinical data of 38 patients who underwent retinal detachment after phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation were retrospectively analyzed. All patients diagnosed via visual acuity, slit-lamp microscopy, direct or indirect ophthalmoscopy, A or Bscan ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). There were 21 males (21 eyes) and 17 female (18 eyes). The age was from 42 to 83 years, with the mean of (57.4±11.2) years. There were nine patients (10 eyes) with simple macular hole RD (MHRD). Vitrectomy or scleral buckling or combined vitrectomy and scleral surgery were implemented according to RD range, the hole location and size, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grading; simple MHRD eyes were treated posterior scleral reinforcement surgery. The followup was ranged from 3 to 12 months, with a mean of (11.9±6.8) months. Results The retina was reattached successfully through one operation in 36 eyes (92.3%), two eyes failed because of a relapse after surgery, and one eye finally succeeded by the third times of surgery. There were two eyes (5.1%) with improved vision, one eye (2.6%) with stable vision, and 36 eyes (92.3%) with decreased vision. Conclusion The ratio of the reattachment by one operation for RD after phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation is high, but the final visual prognosis remains poorly.
Objective To observe the incidence and related factors of macula hole retinal detachment(MHRD)after phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens(IOL)implantation. Methods The clinical data of 10 076 patients(13 625 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation were retrospectively analyzed. There are 1228 patients (1853 eyes) with high myopia. All the patients were examined by routine slitlamp microscopy, ophthalmoscopy as well as A- or B-scan ultrasonography. The phacoemulsification cataract extraction with transparent cornea incision or scleral tunnel incision, combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed in all the patients. The followup was ranged from 12 to 126 months, with a mean of (48.2plusmn;31.1)months. The MHRD was confirmed by the examinations of the fundus, B-scan ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography. The incidence of postoperative MHRD and the risk factors were analyzed. Results 10/13 625 eyes (0.073%) with MHRD were observed. 7/1853 high myopia eyes (0.378%) with MHRD were observed. The occurrence time of MHRD was ranged from 9 to 74 months after surgery, with a mean of 38.5 months. The cumulative risk was estimated at 0.16% (95% confidence interval, 0.05% -0.27%).Conclusions The incidence of MHRD after phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation is 0073%. The MHRD incidence of high myopia eyes is 0.378%. High myopia may be the risk factor for MHRD.
