Lensectomy-vitrectomy indications and techniques in cataract surgery.

P Sourdille

    Current Opinion in Ophthalmology
    |January 7, 1997
    PubMed
    Summary

    Lensectomy-vitrectomy, a modern vitreous surgery technique, involves removing the lens and vitreous gel. Studies show it causes minimal trauma to the eye's blood-aqueous barrier, comparable to lens surgery alone.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vitreoretinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Lensectomy-vitrectomy, developed in the 1970s, combines lens and vitreous removal.
    • It has evolved with advancements like small incision cataract surgery and foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs).
    • This procedure addresses diverse conditions from neonatal cataracts to adult diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the consequences of neonatal lensectomy-vitrectomy.
    • To discuss surgical indications, IOL implantation timing, and complications in congenital cataracts.
    • To explore specific applications in dislocated nuclei, diabetic vitreoretinal disorders, and giant retinal tears.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical outcomes and surgical techniques.
    • Analysis of blood-aqueous barrier trauma using laser flare and cellmetry.
    • Discussion of complications and management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy alone demonstrates minimal impact on the blood-aqueous barrier.
    • Postoperative flare levels after pars plana vitrectomy are near preoperative levels.
    • Combined lensectomy-vitrectomy is hypothesized to be no more traumatizing than lens surgery alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Lensectomy-vitrectomy is a widely accepted surgical approach for various ophthalmic conditions.
    • Further research is needed on optimal IOL implantation timing in neonatal congenital cataracts.
    • The procedure's safety profile is supported by minimal blood-aqueous barrier disruption.
