چکیده
A pars plana injection of Viscoat (sodium hyaluronate 3%-chondroitin sulfate 4%) was used to stabilize and elevate a descending nucleus in 8 patients with posterior capsule rupture. The nucleus or nuclear remnants were successfully removed in all 8 patients.

Managing Residual Lens Material After Posterior Capsular Rupture
After posterior capsule rupture, removal of residual lens material is a challenging but important goal. Sequential, interdependent strategies to accomplish this include the Viscoat PAL, the Viscoat Trap, bimanual pars plana anterior vitrectomy, and bimanual irrigation–aspiration of cortex. Once brought into the anterior chamber, the nucleus can be removed either with phacoemulsification above a...
متن کاملCombined Instrument and Posterior-Assisted Levitation of Nuclear Fragments During Phacoemulsification after Posterior Capsule Rupture
Introduction: Rupture of posterior capsule is a challenging complication especially when the nucleus is still present in the eye. Retained nuclear fragments frequently cause sight threatening complications. Objective: To report the outcomes of a technique that implies the use of instruments in the anterior chamber and through pars plana to help delivery of fragments outside the eye together wit...
متن کاملManagement of posterior polar cataract.
In this technique for managing posterior polar cataract, extreme care is taken not to overpressurize the anterior chamber or capsular bag to prevent posterior capsule rupture. Minimal hydrodissection and hydrodelineation are performed. The nucleus is extracted using minimal ultrasound energy. Viscodissection is used as a primary technique to mobilize the epinucleus and cortex. A protective laye...
متن کاملPseudophakic retinal detachment with ruptured posterior lens capsule.
The relationship between retinal detachment and posterior lens capsule rupture in pseudophakic patients was studied. Records of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital from 1992 to 2004 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 main groups: 1) The study group (pseudophakic retinal detachment) 79 eyes (78 cases) which was subdivided into group 1a...
متن کاملIntravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to Treat Posterior Capsule Neovascularization
We report a 64-year-old diabetic woman who developed neovascularization of the posterior capsule 2 years after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. The patient was treated with single injection of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) via pars plana. After one week, complete regression of the posterior capsule neovascularization was achieved allowing us to perform Nd: YAG...
