Abstract
Abstract:
Aim: To evaluate the effect of Phaco Chop Cataract Surgery on Corneal Endothelium.
Setting: Kasr Al-ainy, university hospital, in the period between Aug-2021 to Feb-2022.
Methods: A prospective study included 30-eyes that underwent cataract surgery using Phaco-chop technique. Endothelial cell loss (ECL) was correlated to effective phaco-time in seconds (EPT), age of the patients, and their gender 3-months postoperatively using specular microscopy.
Results: This study was performed on 30 patients (17-cases were males, and 13-cases were females) who underwent phacoemulsification. Their ages ranged from 55 to 80 years, with a mean of 66.5 (± 6.54) years. The mean preoperative cell density (CD) was 2236 cell/mm2, that decreased to 1597 cells/mm2, 3-months postoperatively. This drop in CD was statistically significant (p < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation (P
