ABSTRACT
RESUMEN La cirugía de catarata constituye hoy en día un reto para el cirujano oftalmólogo. Cada año se someten a este proceder miles de pacientes con el único propósito de mejorar su calidad visual, y por tanto su calidad de vida. Es por esto que lograr un acto quirúrgico libre de complicaciones es vital para que este procedimiento se pueda efectuar sin contratiempos. El advenimiento de nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas y de la tecnología de punta hace que el cirujano de catarata esté constantemente tratando de satisfacer las exigencias de los pacientes que se someten a esta intervención. Teniendo en cuenta que dentro de las complicaciones transoperatorias una de las más frecuentes y temidas es la ruptura de la cápsula posterior, se realizó una búsqueda de diversos artículos publicados en los últimos diez años, utilizando la plataforma Infomed, específicamente la Biblioteca Virtual de Salud, con el objetivo de conocer los principales factores de riesgo, el diagnóstico, el manejo y las complicaciones asociadas a la ruptura capsular tras la cirugía del cristalino(AU)
ABSTRACT Cataract surgery is nowadays a challenge for eye surgeons. Thousands of patients undergo cataract surgery every year with the sole purpose of improving their visual quality and thus their quality of life. It is therefore crucial that complications do not occur during surgery, so that the procedure may be conducted without any mishap. Cataract surgeons should be aware of the new surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology in the field to meet the demands of patients undergoing this surgical procedure. Bearing in mind that posterior capsule rupture is one of the most common and feared intraoperative complications, a search was conducted of papers published on the Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Health Library, in the past ten years, with the purpose of collecting information about the main risk factors, diagnosis, management and complications associated to capsule rupture after lens surgery(AU)

RESUMEN La extracción del cristalino en pacientes con ectopia lentis se convierte en una cirugía desafiante para el cirujano. En el pasado surgieron serias complicaciones asociadas a esta intervención quirúrgica, como desprendimiento de retina y glaucoma. El avance de las técnicas quirúrgicas en las últimas décadas ha brindado mayor seguridad para la cirugía de esta afección del cristalino. Se presenta una paciente femenina de 47 años aquejada de disminución de la visión. Al examen oftalmológico se encuentra subluxación superior del cristalino bilateral. Previa discusión con la paciente de los posibles escenarios a presentarse durante la cirugía, se le sugiere una facoemulsificación bilateral secuencial del cristalino conservando el saco capsular mediante la colocación de un anillo de tensión capsular fijado a la esclera más implante de lente intraocular plegable en el saco capsular. Se realiza primeramente cirugía del ojo izquierdo y se presenta un desgarro radial de la rexis con extensión posterior, por lo que se varía el abordaje quirúrgico y se fija el implante al iris. Un mes después se realiza cirugía del ojo derecho siguiendo el plan quirúrgico inicial sin complicaciones. La recuperación visual fue satisfactoria (0,7 en cartilla de Snellen) en ambos ojos y se demostró la efectividad de ambas alternativas quirúrgicas. La planificación correcta de la técnica quirúrgica y de las posibles modificaciones ante circunstancias sobrevenidas, así como la oportuna información preoperatoria y la experiencia del cirujano resultan fundamentales para alcanzar el éxito quirúrgico, la recuperación funcional y la satisfacción del paciente(AU)
ABSTRACT Crystalline lens removal in patients with ectopia lentis is a challenge for eye surgeons. Serious complications, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma, were associated in the past to this surgical procedure. However, the progress in surgical techniques achieved in recent decades provides greater safety in the surgical treatment of this lens disorder. A female 47-year-old patient attends consultation complaining of vision reduction. Ophthalmological examination reveals bilateral crystalline lens upper subluxation. The possible scenarios to occur during surgery are discussed with the patient, and it is suggested that she undergoes sequential bilateral lens phacoemulsification preserving the capsular bag with the placement of a capsular tension ring fixed to the sclera plus implantation of a foldable intraocular lens in the capsular bag. The first eye to be operated on is the left eye, and radial tear of the rhexis with posterior extension occurs. Therefore, the surgical approach is changed and the implant is fixed to the iris. Surgery of the right eye is performed one month later, following the initial surgical plan without any complications. Visual recovery was satisfactory (0.7 by the Snellen chart) in both eyes, proving the effectiveness of both surgical alternatives. Correct planning of the surgical technique and its possible modifications in response to unexpected circumstances, alongside timely preoperative information and the surgeon's experience, are all crucial to achieve surgical success, functional recovery and patient satisfaction(AU)

Background Lensectomy with anterior capsule preserving is still advisable under specific conditions during vitrectomy.Although lens epithelial cells were polished off during surgery,opacification in varying degrees could be observed.Understanding the composition of proliferative anterior capsule membrane is of an important clinical significance for the prevention and manegement.Objective This study was to investigate the management and pathology of the pupillary area membranous opacity underling preserved anterior capsule after lensectomy in diabetic eyes with silicone oil tamponade.Methods Twenty-three eyes of 21 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and cataract received vitrectomy combined with lensectomy preserved anterior capsule in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January to December 2013,and the proliferative anterior capsular membrane specimens with the opacification grade C or D were obtained.The fibrotic membrane underlying anterior capsules were removed in order to make a clear optical area during the operation of silicone oil removal.The proliferative membrane at pupillary area was cut off by cutter probe for the eyes with the membrane attaching tightly or partial capsule laceration occurred.The available specimens were examined under the optical microscope and polarized microscope respectively after hemotoxylin and eosin staining,Van Gieson collagen staining,Masson collagen staining and Picrosirius staining.Results The proliferative fibrosis membranes were pilled to get a clear pupillary area in 15 eyes,with the successfully rate 65.2％ (15/23).In 14 eyes with degree C opacity,the proliferative fibrosis membranes were pilled in 9 eyes,with the successfully rate 64.3 ％ (9/14),and 5 eyes received anterior capsule cutthrough by cutter in pupillary area,with a diameter of 3-4 mm,and available specimens were obtained in 3 eyes.In 9 eyes with degree D opacity,the proliferative membranes were pilled in 6 eyes,with the successfully rate of 66.7％ (6/9),and 3 eyes underwent cut-through by cutter,and available specimens were obtained in 7 eyes.The best corrected visual acuity was obviously improved in 20 eyes and unchanged in 3 eyes after surgery.The histopathological examination showed fibroblasts,pigment particles and intracellular and extracellular vacuolus formation by hemotoxylin and eosin staining,fibril tissue with the pinke staining by Van Gieson,collage formation with green color by Masson staining in the specimens.Picrosirius staining plus polarization microscopy observation revealed that the collagen consisted of abundant type Ⅰ collagen with stronger reddish yellow color and small amount of type Ⅲ collagen with green color.Conclusions A combination of silicon oil removal with proliferative mambrane pelling is a available way to restore pupillary transparency in the eyes of PDR with cataract and silicone oil tamponade eyes.Proliferative residual lens epithelial cells,pigment epithelial cells and silicon oil granules are the main composition of opacity mambrane.The type Ⅰ collagen is dominant in proliferative collagen tissue.
ABSTRACT
Abstract? AIM: To investigate changes of anterior chamber parameters after posterior chamber phakic implantable collamer lens ( ICL ) surgery and its correlation with intraocular pressure ( IOP) .?METHODS: This was a retrospective case series study. Seventy four eyes in 43 myopia patients were examined by Allegro Oculyzer anterior segment tomography to obtain the changes of anterior chamber volume ( ACV ) , anterior chamber angle ( ACA) , central anterior chamber depth ( ACD) and vault, meanwhile, to measure the IOP to analyze the correlation with anterior chamber parameters.?RESULTS: Compared with preoperative, ACV, ACA, ACD all decreased apparently ( P 0.05).?CONCLUSION:For patients underwent ICL, the anterior chamber parameters all decreased which included ACV, ACA, ACD, and had stabilized since early postoperative period. Correspondingly, IOP was stable and had not correlate with ACV, ACA, ACD and vault, however the long-term observation is still necessary.
ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the common factor affecting hospitalization expense of lens surgery operation, and propose effective measures to curb unreasonable increase of medical costs.Methods Collection of inpatients information of the year 2014 from a tertiary hospital in Beijing, for factor analysis of the hospitalization expenses of 555 inpatients categorized as DRGs of CB39 (lens surgery), using the BJ-DRGs platform.Results The highest factor of lens surgery expenses is disposable medical surgery materials, accounting for 42.77％;followed by surgery fee and medication fee, accounting for 23.19％ and 17.15％ respectively.Conclusion For the hospitals, medicine and medical material rank the highest in cost control, and they are recommended to work on them by means of clinical pathways, medical norms and purchasing policy, and to explore new means of payment in the meantime.
ABSTRACT
Relato de dois casos de síndrome do bloqueio capsular, de ocorrência tardia, nove e cinco anos após facoemulsificação, respectivamente, em um olho com pseudoexfoliação capsular e outro operado de glaucoma, com bolha funcionante. A condição se constituiu na retenção de grande quantidade de líquido esbranquiçado, atrás da lente intraocular, o que levou à redução da AV, de quatro linhas de Snellen, nos dois casos. Houve pronta resolução do quadro com mínima capsulotomia posterior.
Two cases of late capsular block syndrome are reported. They were observed nine and five years after facoemulsification, in one eye with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and the other operated on for glaucoma with a functioning bleb. There was a large amount of milky material behind the intraocular lens, and reduction of the visual acuity (four lines of the Snellen chart in both cases). The condition was promptly resolved through minimal YAG laser posterior capsulotomy.

Apresentamos um caso de síndrome de bloqueio capsular precoce, tratado por reintervenção cirúrgica no segundo dia de pós-operatório. Comentamos as principais características da síndrome, os possíveis fatores predisponentes, as opções de tratamento e a importância do seu correto reconhecimento. Nós também especulamos sobre outro possível fator de risco, lentes intraoculares com parte óptica de 6mm ou maiores.
We present a case of early capsular block syndrome that was treated by re-operation on the second post operative day. We discuss the major characteristics of the syndrome, possible predisposing factors, therapeutic options and highlight the importance of its correct recognition. We also speculate about another possible risk factor, an intraocular lens with a optic part about 6mm or more.
