Triple procedure 'a chaud'.

Although it is widely accepted that acute uveitis is the main contraindication for intrabulbar procedures, conditions in the presented group of 24 patients (mean age 63 years, ranging from 35 to 74) required immediate surgery. The corneal pathologies included: perforated corneal ulcer in 12, imminent corneal perforation in ten and corneal melting syndrome in two patients. Partial perforative keratoplasty was accompanied by various combinations of surgical procedures, depending on the preoperative status. In cases of aphakia (N = 5) and anterior chamber pseudophakia (N = 5) secondary PCIOL implantation with sulcus fixation was performed, combined with ACIOL explanation in the latter group. The largest group included patients with complicated cataract (N = 14), where classic triple procedure was performed in ten patients. In three patients, the surgery had to be completed with sulcus fixation of the PCIOL, due to posterior capsule rupture. Associated glaucoma in one patient required trabeculectomy along with triple procedure. Postoperative complications that could not be treated with conservative measures for subsequent corneal decompensation, required rekeratoplasty in three (12.5%) patients. Visual acuity amelioration, ranging from 0.2-0.8, was achieved in seven (29.2%) and nine (37.5%) patients after 3 and 6 months, respectively.

Timing of cataract surgery in diabetics.

In their retrospective study, the authors investigated the outcome of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) followed by posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (PCIOL), in 2864 operated eyes, out of which 546 (19%) were in diabetics. The preoperative retinal status was recorded in all subjects. In 6 (1%) patients, laser photocoagulation was performed preoperatively. The obtained visual acuity was 0.4 or better in 90.0% of diabetics and in 91.8% of control subjects, showing no significant difference in the postoperative complications between diabetics and non-diabetics. The results indicated the cataract operation (ECCE + PCIOL) to be a well tolerated surgical procedure in diabetic patients with lenticular opacity, in whom it should be even earlier performed than in nondiabetics, because cataract prevents the diagnosis or treatment of a suspect retinal disorder.

Risks of retrobulbar application of anesthetics and drugs.

In spite of hundreds of harmless retrobulbar applications of anesthetics and drugs, a certain risk still exists. In the past ten years in our Department with 7200 retrobulbar procedures performed in local anesthesia and 12500 retrobulbar applications of the drugs (corticosteroids, antibiotics, vasodilatators) 14 incidents were registered. Palpebral chemosis and retrobulbar hematoma or eyeball protrusion were transient in 11 patients. Acute disturbance of the chorioretinal circulation occurred in three patients. In one of them vascular occlusion was total with permanent loss of vision, while in the other two recuperation of vision was the sign that vascular spasm was transient.
