This study evaluated phacoemulsification surgery outcomes in 160 patients. Most patients achieved good vision with low complication rates, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this cataract surgery technique.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Phacoemulsification is a common cataract surgery technique.
  • Training surgeons require supervised experience to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the complications and visual outcomes of early phacoemulsification procedures performed by surgeons in training.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of supervised phacoemulsification surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 160 phacoemulsification procedures.
  • Supervised surgical training environment.
  • Data collection on complications and postoperative visual acuity.

Main Results:

  • Low rates of posterior capsular tear (4.35%) and vitreous loss (3.3%).

  • No instances of nuclear loss.
  • 94% of eyes without pre-existing pathology achieved visual acuity of 0.7 or better.
  • One case required surgical reintervention.

    • Conclusions:

    • Supervised phacoemulsification surgery by training surgeons demonstrates favorable safety and visual outcomes.
    • Early surgical experience can lead to high rates of successful cataract removal and visual rehabilitation.
