Extracapsular cataract extraction and implantation in the capsular sac during vitrectomy in diabetics]

Removal of the lens is often performed during pars plana vitrectomy for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, but correction of aphakia often remains unsatisfactory. Some authors have reported posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation during pars plana vitrectomy in diabetic patients who presented with coexisting cataract and vitreoretinal complications from proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Some patients were operated by pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy followed by posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in the ciliary sulcus, others by extracapsular extraction, posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in the ciliary sulcus, and pars plana vitrectomy. Other authors have described phacoemulsification through the limbus, pars plana vitrectomy and implantation in the capsular bag in one operation in various indications, including complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. We inserted a posterior chamber intraocular lens into the capsular bag in 18 eyes of 16 patients with complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy after extracapsular cataract extraction and pars plana vitrectomy in a single session. A standard extracapsular cataract extraction was performed before pars plana vitrectomy. Sufficient anterior capsule was left in place in order to facilitate implantation in the capsular bag after pars plana vitrectomy. The anterior chamber was filled with sodium hyaluronate in order to maintain anterior chamber depth, corneal clarity, and good mydriasis during the continuation of the procedure. A standard three port pars plana vitrectomy was performed in all cases. After closure of superior sclerotomies, superior corneal incision was partially reopened, an intraocular lens specifically designed for the capsular bag with an optic size of 7 mm was inserted, and the corneal incision was closed with interrupted 10/0 sutures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in eyes with inactive and active proliferative diabetic retinopathy

We reviewed the records of 2,100 consecutive eyes that had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation between January 1981 and December 1989. Of these eyes, 21 had inactive and four had active proliferative diabetic retinopathy at the time of cataract extraction. Twenty-one eyes with inactive proliferative diabetic retinopathy received extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, and four eyes with active proliferative diabetic retinopathy had both extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and pars plana vitrectomy with endophotocoagulation. The mean follow-up period was 27 months. Final visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 12 of 25 eyes (48%). Of 25 eyes, five (20%) showed progression of the retinopathy after the operation, and two (8%) developed macular edema. Extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was well tolerated in most eyes.

Combined phacoemulsification,intraocular lens implantation,and vitrectomy for eyes with coexisting cataract and vitreoretinal pathology

PURPOSE: To report the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes of combining phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with pars plana vitrectomy in eyes with significant cataract and coexisting vitreoretinal pathology. DESIGN: Retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. METHODS: Charts of patients undergoing combined procedures at the Wilmer Ophthalmologic Institute between March 1995 and May 2000 were reviewed. RESULTS: In all, 122 eyes of 111 patients were identified. Patient ages ranged from 27 to 89 years (mean 65). Forty-three eyes had diabetic retinopathy; 11 had undergone vitrectomy previously. Macular pathology (hole, membrane, choridal neovascularization) was present in 69 eyes. The most common indications for surgery were diabetic vitreous hemorrhage, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, and retinal detachment. In all cases, phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were performed before vitreoretinal surgery. Preoperative vision ranged from 20/30 to light perception and postoperative vision ranged from 20/20 to no light perception. In 105 patients vision improved, in 7 there was no change, and in 10 vision decreased. Postoperative complications included opacification of the posterior capsule, increased intraocular pressure, corneal epithelial defects, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment and iris capture by the IOL. CONCLUSIONS: Combined surgery is a reasonable alternative in selected patients. Techniques that may simplify surgery and reduce complications include: careful, limited, curvilinear capsulorhexis; in-the-bag placement of IOLs; use of IOLs with larger optics; suturing of cataract wounds before vitrectomy; use of miotics and avoidance of long-acting dilating drops in patients with intravitreal gas; and use of wide-field viewing systems.     

Postoperative anterior chamber inflammation after posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation concurrent with pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy]

The authors compared postoperative anterior chamber inflammation of triple procedure; diabetic pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy with anterior capsule left intact and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation anterior to anterior capsule, to those of various cataract surgeries with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and vitrectomies in diabetic retinopathy eyes. The inflammation was evaluated in terms of the incidence of inflammatory complications (fibrin reaction and posterior synechia of iris), and by periodical measurement of flare counts for postoperative 6 months using a laser flare-cell meter. The inflammation was more intense than those after the following 3 surgeries; phacoemulsification and in the bag intraocular lens implantation after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, extracapsular extraction and in the bag intraocular lens implantation after can opener capsulotomy, and vitrectomy alone. The inflammation, however, was less intense compared with that of another method of triple procedure; pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification and in the bag intraocular lens implantation after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis or can opener capsulotomy, and development of posterior synechia was rarely observed.     

Preventing recurrent opacification of the visual pathway after pediatric cataract surgery

PURPOSE: To determine the rate of secondary opacification of the visual pathway following pediatric cataract surgery in children between the ages of 10 months and 7 years. METHODS: The medical records of children less than 7 years old who underwent lens aspiration, posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, primary pars plana posterior capsulectomy, and anterior vitrectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Twenty-six eyes in 19 children were included in the study. All procedures were performed by an anterior segment surgeon and a vitreoretinal surgeon. Main outcome measures were the prevalence of re-opacification of the visual pathway and of early postoperative complications. RESULTS: The visual pathway remained clear in 25 of 26 eyes (96%) after pediatric cataract surgery combined with primary pars plana posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy. The mean age at surgery was 46 +/- 23 months (+/-SD). Secondary opacification of the visual pathway occurred in one eye (4%), requiring another surgical procedure. At last follow-up (mean, 26 months; range, 6 to 79 months), the visual pathway was clear in all 26 eyes (100%). No cases of clinically significant IOL displacement or of retinal detachment were noted. CONCLUSIONS: For children undergoing pediatric cataract surgery between the ages of 10 months and 7 years, IOL implantation combined with primary pars plana posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy is effective in preventing re-opacification of the visual pathway.     

Clinical outcomes of pars plana capsulotomy with anterior vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery.

PURPOSE: The management of the posterior capsule in pediatric cataract surgery remains challenging. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the role and clinical outcomes of primary pars plana capsulotomy and pars plana anterior vitrectomy during pediatric cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: Consecutive cases of pars plana capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy during pediatric cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The surgical technique was the same in all patients and involved pars plana capsulotomy with anterior vitrectomy after the IOL was implanted in the capsular bag. RESULTS: Seventy-six pediatric cataract cases in 61 patients performed from 1994 through 1999 used the pars plana posterior capsulotomy technique and were included in this analysis. A posterior chamber IOL was implanted in all cases. There were no intraoperative complications associated with the surgery. Median age at the time of surgery was 21 months. All patients had at least 1 year of follow-up and mean follow-up was 29.4 months. Among patients old enough to read Snellen's letters (53 eyes), final best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 32 eyes (60%) and 20/50 to 20/200 in 21 eyes (40%). Poor final visual acuity was associated with deprivation amblyopia or optic nerve dysplasia or hypoplasia. There were no postoperative retinal complications or cases of IOL dislocation during the follow-up period. Seven eyes (9.2%) of five patients with a median age of 2.5 months developed reopacification of the visual axis at a mean of 4.1 months postoperatively. This event occurred in 6 of 28 eyes with an age of 6 months or less (21.4%), versus only 1 of 48 eyes with an age greater than 6 months (2.0%) (P =.006, Fisher exact test). The visual axis was restored by pars plana membranectomy in 6 eyes and 1 eye of one patient underwent neodymium:YAG laser membrane discission. CONCLUSIONS: Pars plana capsulotomy with pars plana anterior vitrectomy is a safe, effective method of managing the posterior capsule in pediatric cataract surgery with IOL implantation. Visual axis reopacification is associated with a very young age at the time of surgery. Continued follow-up of these patients is important to assess the long-term outcomes of this surgical approach.     

Lensectomy-vitrectomy indications and techniques in cataract surgery

Lensectomy-vitrectomy is the removal of the crystalline lens through a transscleral retrociliary incision (usually the pars plana) under clinical conditions in which the vitreous gel has to be partially or totally removed. It was designed in the early 1970s at the onset of modern vitreous surgery. The vitreous cutter was used to remove the lens and the vitreous (lensectomy as vitrectomy). With the development of small incision cataract surgery, foldable IOL, the term lensectomy-vitrectomy also applies to separate incisions in one procedure combining lens and vitreous surgery. With this in mind, it covers several very different situations from neonatal congenital cataracts to adult or senile-associated diseases. This type of surgery is widely accepted, and the main controversy is about the consequences of neonatal surgery and the age of IOL implantation in uni- or bilateral congenital cataracts. My personal work with laser flare and cellmetry demonstrates that pars plana vitrectomy alone creates very little trauma to the blood-aqueous barrier, as can be checked by the anterior chamber level of proteins (ie, flare). The postoperative flare in pars plana vitrectomy alone is very close to the preoperative level. Therefore, the association of pars plana vitrectomy and lens surgery should not be more traumatizing to the eye than lens surgery alone. This review will first report the consequences of neonatal lensectomy-vitrectomy to the eye. Subsequent indications for surgery and implantation will be discussed as well as special indications and complications in congenital cataracts, dislocated nucleus in cataract operation, cataract and associated vitreoretinal disorders in diabetes, and giant retinal tears and removal of the lens during vitrectomy.     

Combined surgery, phacoemulsification, implantation of intraocular lens and pars plana vitrectomy

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness, technical feasibility and incidence of complications after combining pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The results of combined vitreoretinal and cataract surgery in 100 eyes of 96 patients were retrospectively and prospectively analyzed. The mean follow-up period was 8.4 months. All patients had clinically significant lens opacities and vitreoretinal pathology requiring pars plana vitrectomy. Indications for vitreoretinal surgery included: persistent vitreous haemorrhage (28 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage combined with tractional retinal detachment (50 eyes), tractional retinal detachment without vitreous haemorrhage caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (7 eyes), rheumatogenous retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (10 eyes) and dislocated crystalline lens in the vitreous (5 eyes). RESULTS: Postoperatively, best corrected visual acuity improved in 81 eyes (81%)- by two lines or more in 31 eyes (31%) - by less than two lines in 50 eyes (50%). In 14 eyes (14%) visual acuity was unchanged and was worse in 5 cases (5%). Postoperative complications included fibrin reaction, posterior synechias of the iris, vitreous hemorrhage, neovascular glaucoma, posterior capsule opacification, redetachment of retina. CONCLUSIONS: Our cases confirm previous study, that performing phacoemulsification, IOL implantation and vitrectomy in one operation is safe and allows visual recovery with good technical results.     

Lens implant surgery in pars planitis

Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is usually contraindicated in eyes with active inflammation, but patients with "burned-out" pars planitis also may be considered as candidates. Fifteen of 16 eyes in eight patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with posterior chamber IOL (PC IOL) implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy for both cataracts and chronic cystoid macular edema (CME); 60% achieved visual acuity of 20/40 or better. Even with "low-grade" inflammation in these patients, however, a persistent veil of debris accumulated over the posterior and anterior surface of the IOL. One patient (patient 2) required 27 YAG procedures for two eyes, and another required 11 YAG procedures and eventual removal of the IOL. Another patient required surgical "brushing-off" of the IOL and vitrectomy. Even in eyes with "burned-out" uveitis, a continual low-grade inflammation may complicate the use of IOL implantation.     

Pars plana vitrectomy with posterior iris claw implantation for posteriorly dislocated nucleus and intraocular lens

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with primary posterior iris claw intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cases of posterior dislocation of nucleus and IOL without capsular support. This was a retrospective interventional case series. Fifteen eyes underwent PPV with primary posterior iris claw IOL implantation performed by a single vitreoretinal surgeon. The main outcome measures were changes in best corrected visual acuity and anterior and posterior segment complications. A total of 15 eyes were included in this study. Eight had nucleus drop, three had IOL drop during cataract surgery and four had traumatic posterior dislocation of lens. The final postoperative best corrected visual acuity was 20/60 or better in 11 patients. This procedure is a viable option in achieving good functional visual acuity in eyes without capsular support.     

Management of siderosis bulbi due to a retained iron-containing intraocular foreign body

The authors report their experience in managing 14 cases of siderosis bulbi secondary to a retained iron-containing intraocular foreign body (IOFB). The IOFB was removed in 12 of the 14 eyes. The IOFB was removed with a sclerotomy and external magnet (5 eyes), a pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and intraocular forceps (5 eyes), a PPV and intraocular magnet (1 eye), and a PPV with aspiration using the suction mode of the vitrectomy instrument (1 eye). A siderotic cataract developed in 11 eyes and cataract extraction resulted in postoperative visual acuity ranging from 20/15 to 20/40. The most recent siderotic cataracts have been managed with cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) implantation. No patient in this series experienced visual deterioration after receiving medical attention. The current management of siderosis bulbi is discussed.     

Primary capsulectomy, anterior vitrectomy, lensectomy, and posterior chamber lens implantation in children: limbal versus pars plana.

PURPOSE: To compare the results of a limbal versus a pars plana approach for primary posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy in the management of childhood cataract. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Labbafinejad Medical Center, Tehran, Iran. METHODS: A randomized, controlled, double-masked clinical trial of 45 eyes was conducted. After being matched, 38 eyes were included in the study and were divided into 2 equal groups for data analysis. All eyes had lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) implantation. Primary posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy were performed through the limbus in half of the eyes and the pars plana in the other half. Main outcome measures included visual acuity, estimated red reflex, postsurgical inflammatory reaction, corneal clarity, posterior synechias, iris capture, IOL position, capsulectomy size, glaucoma, cystoid macular edema, retinal tear, and postoperative refraction. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 approaches in the outcome measures. CONCLUSION: The anatomic and visual results were encouraging when posterior capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy, using a limbal or pars plana approach, were combined with lensectomy and PC IOL implantation in children. The application of these techniques depends on surgeon experience and skill.

Combined clear corneal phacoemulsification, vitreoretinal surgery, and intraocular lens implantation.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the technical feasibility, outcome, and incidence of complications after combined clear corneal phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and vitreoretinal surgery. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Giessen, Germany. METHODS: The results of combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery in 38 eyes (36 patients) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had clinically significant lens opacities and vitreoretinal pathology requiring pars plana vitrectomy. Thirty-seven IOLs were implanted in the capsular bag, and 1 was sulcus fixated. RESULTS: Postoperatively, visual acuity improved in 20 eyes (52.6%), was unchanged in 16 (42.1%), and was worse in 2 (5.3%). Postoperative complications consisted of anterior chamber fibrin exudation (3 eyes), hyphema (2 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage (1 eye), posterior capsule opacification (16 eyes), neovascular glaucoma (2 eyes), proliferative vitreoretinopathy and redetachment (1 eye), and retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal (1 eye). CONCLUSION: Compared with 2 separate operations in patients with significant lens opacities and vitreoretinal pathology, combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery provided more rapid visual rehabilitation. The visual outcome and complications depended primarily on underlying posterior segment pathology and were not related to the combined procedure technique.

Unsutured posterior chamber lens implantation in eyes requiring lens extraction at the time of pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade

PURPOSE: To describe a technique for the subsequent placement of an unsutured posterior chamber lens intraocular lens (PC IOL) in eyes requiring cataract or clear lens extraction at the time of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil tamponade. SETTING: Department of Vitreoretinal Surgery, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom. METHODS: This retrospective review comprised 25 patients who had phacoemulsification to allow an adequate intraoperative retinal view or adequate access to anterior retinal pathology. Anterior and posterior capsulorhexes were combined with an inferior radial capsulectomy to fashion a keyhole-shaped capsule. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 15.9 months +/- 8.0 (SD) (range 3 to 34 months). Silicone oil was removed and IOLs were implanted in 15 eyes (60.0%). Posterior chamber IOLs were implanted in 10 eyes (66.7% of those receiving an IOL), and anterior chamber AC IOLs were implanted in 5 eyes (33.3%). Nine of the 10 eyes receiving a PC IOL (60.0% of all IOLs) had uneventful surgery. In 1 eye, the PC IOL subluxated inferiorly. Two eyes developed pupil block that required further surgery. CONCLUSIONS: This technique allowed PC IOL implantation in 60% of eyes that received an IOL, showing that in selected patients who require simultaneous lens extraction and silicone oil tamponade, a keyhole-shaped capsulectomy provides for subsequent unsutured PC IOL insertion. The pupil block rate of 8% compares favorably with published rates. Refining the technique may allow it to be used in a greater proportion of eyes that would benefit from safe refractive correction.     

Tilt and decentration of the intraocular lens following combined vitrectomy and pars plana lensectomy

PURPOSE: To investigate intraocular lens (IOL) tilt and decentration following combined vitrectomy and pars plana lensectomy (PPL) with IOL implantation in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: We followed 25 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy who underwent PPL and IOL (MA60BM) implantation at the time of pars plana vitrectomy (PPL group), and 25 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL (MA60BM) implantation without vitrectomy (PE group). Intraocular lens tilt and decentration were evaluated quantitatively, using the anterior eye segment analysis system, approximately 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in IOL tilt (p = 0.47) or decentration (p = 0.26) between the PPL and PE groups. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that tilt and decentration of the IOL are acceptable in combined vitrectomy and pars plana lensectomy.

Extracapsular cataract extraction, posterior chamber lens insertion, and pars plana vitrectomy in one operation

Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), placement of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL), and pars plana vitrectomy were combined in a single operation in 24 patients. Sixteen of these, 11 of whom are diabetic, have had 6 months or more of follow-up. In all cases, excellent visualization of the posterior segment was obtained, and the surgical objectives were achieved. No diabetic patient without preoperative neovascularization of the iris had this complication later. The advantages and disadvantages of alternative techniques are discussed.
