Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic and biometric characteristics of patients with cataract surgery and their effects on the total duration of cataract surgery.METHODS: 144 eyes of 144 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery PHACO for cataract treatment were included in the study. Surgical parameters and biometric parameters such as axial length AL , anterior chamber depth ACD , lens thickness LT , central corneal thickness CCT , dilated pupillary diameter PD and nuclear sclerosis NS grades were retrospectively investigated. The correlation between the obtained data and total PHACO time TPT was evaluated by correlation and regression analyzes.RESULTS: 55.6% 80 patients of the patients were male and the mean age was 67.07 ± 9.77 40-95 years years. According to the analyzes, a weak correlation was found between ultrasound time UT , NS grade, ACD and TPT R: 0.368, 0.220, -0.256, p. 0.05 for all data .DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It has been detected that there was a significantly relationship between ACD narrowing, LK increasing and longer TPT. Other biometric and demographic factors such as age, gender and PEX status did not affect TPT. When all analyzes were considered, the main factors that could have an impact on TPT were considered to be NS degrees and UT.

Demografik ve Biyometrik Özellikler ile Fakoemülsifikasyon Aşamasında Kullanılan Süre ve Gücün Katarakt Ameliyatı Süresi Üzerindeki Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışmada katarakt ameliyatı olan hastaların demografik ve biyometrik özelliklerinin, katarakt ameliyatının toplam süresi üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Çalışmaya katarakt tedavisi amacıyla fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi FAKO yapılmış 144 hastanın 144 gözü dahil edildi. Hastaların cerrahi sırasındaki parametreleri, aksiyel uzunluk AU , ön kamara derinliği ÖKD , lens kalınlığı LK , merkezi kornea kalınlığı MKK , dilate pupil çapı PÇ ve nükleer skleroz NS dereceleri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Elde edilen verilerle toplam FAKO süresi TFS arasındaki ilişki korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri ile değerlendirildi.BULGULAR: Hastaların %55,6’sı 80 hasta erkekti ve ortalama yaş 67,07 ± 9,77 40-95 yıl yıldı. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ultrason süresi US , NS derecesi ve ÖKD ile TFS arasında zayıf düzeyde ilişki saptandı sırasıyla R: 0,368, 0,220,-0.256, p.0,05 .TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Yaş, cinsiyet, PEKS durumu gibi faktörlerin TFS’yi etkilemediği, biyometrik faktörlerden ÖKD darlığı ve LK artması ile TFS’nin artması arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu görüldü. Tüm analizler göz önüne alındığında ise TFS üzerinde etkisi olabilecek asıl faktörlerin hastaların NS dereceleri ve US olduğu düşünüldü.
