Running title: 23-Gauge Lensectomy for Lens Fragments Dropped into the Vitreous Cavity
Surgical outcomes of 23-gauge vitrectomy for the management of lens fragments dropped into the vitreous cavity during cataract surgery
ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the clinical features and surgical outcomes of 23-Gauge (G) vitrectomy for lens fragments dropped into the vitreous during cataract surgery. Methods: A retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series at a single medical center. The medical records of 45 eyes from 45 consecutive patients who were referred to our hospital for surgical retrieval of phacoemulsification dropped lens fragments and who underwent 23-G vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Data pertaining to patient demographics, pre- and postoperative Snellen visual acuity, and postoperative complications were recorded. Factors associated with dropped lens fragments were also examined. Results: Mean patient age was 68.18 ± 11.47 years. The preoperative and postoperative mean logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity was 1.91 ± 0.59 (Snellen equivalent 0.06 ± 0.15) and 0.42 ± 0.51 (Snellen equivalent 0.54 ± 0.31), respectively. Forty-two eyes (93.3%) had dislocated lens fragments
