Endothelial Cell Loss, Corneal Clinical Trial
Official title:
Protecting the Corneal Endothelium During Cataract Surgery Using the Anterior Capsule: a Prospective Randomised Double-masked Study
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Since
the introduction of phacoemulsification to remove the cataractous lens, risk and complication
rates of cataract surgery decreased significantly.
The phacoemulsification technique utilizes a high-intensity ultrasound energy for the
fragmentation and emulsification of the lens. One of the main complications during
phacoemulsification, is damaging of the endothelium due to contact with lens fragments of the
nucleus following turbulent flow of irrigating solution, resulting in corneal damage,
inflammation of the endothelium and corneal edema.
In this study we want to evaluate the effect of the anterior capsule, gained by capsular
rhexis, as a corneal shield during phacoemulsification on the corneal endothelium.
