[Intraoperative complications in extracapsular extraction with a posterior-chamber lens implant. Medical record data]

This scientific work includes the retrospective study of the intra-operatory complications in 150 cases of cataract operated eyes, using extracapsular implant of artificial crystalline in the posterior chamber; the study is based on the operatory data file, filled in by the surgeon immediately after the operation. The data file we are submitting to your attention can be registered on a floppy disk; it includes the most important data concerning the patient, the type of the cataract, the operatory techniques, the incidents that might occur and the most appropriate method to solve them. The registration on file of the operatory data has proven its efficiency while grouping, inventorying and processing data, but also while determining the conclusions of the prophylactic measures. The rupture of the anterior capsula till the zonular zone occurred in 0.66% of the cases; capsular rests--2%; sphincter lesions--1.33%; iris lesions--0.66%, endothelium lesions--1.33%; posterior capsula rupture--2.66%, followed by anterior vitrectomy and implant of an artificial crystalline in the anterior chamber.
