Abstract:
Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of 1.8 mm micro incision prechop phacoemulsification (PE) in patients with nuclear cataract.Methods:The clinical data of 120 patients with nuclear cataract from June to December 2018 in Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 60 patients were treated with 1.8 mm micro incision prechop PE (prechop group), and 60 patients were treated with 1.8 mm micro incision PE (non-prechop group). The effective ultrasonic time and ultrasonic energy were recorded. The changes of optimum corrected vision, astigmatism degree and related indexes of corneal endothelial cells 1 d before operation and 1 d, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after operation were compared between 2 groups.Results:The effective ultrasonic time and ultrasonic energy in prechop group were significantly lower than those in non-prechop group: (44.04 ± 8.93) s vs. (59.03 ± 9.98) s and (11.29 ± 1.08)% vs. (14.15 ± 1.16)%, and there were statistical differences ( t = 4.139 and 5.289, <0.05). No serious complications occurred in both groups. There was no statistical difference in optimum corrected vision 1d before operation and 1 d after operation between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the optimum corrected vision 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after operation in prechop group was significantly better than that in non-prechop group, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in astigmatism degree before and after operation ( P>0.05). The density of corneal endothelial cells and the proportion of hexagonal cells after operation in prechop group were significantly higher than those in non-prechop group, the area of corneal endothelial cells and variation coefficient were significantly lower than those in non-prechop group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The 1.8 mm micro incision prechop PE to treat nuclear cataract can effectively reduce astigmatism degree after operation and damage corneal endothelial cells in lower degree. And it is better to patients′ postoperative visual recovery.
