Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die Genese der Nachstarbildung
ist multifaktoriell. Drei chirurgische Faktoren haben sich als besondere
Einflussgrößen auf die Nachstarrate erwiesen. Zweck dieser Analyse
war, Kapsulotomieaugen mit Augen ohne Kapsulotomie zu vergleichen,
bezüglich 1) Qualität der Rindenrestentfernung, 2) Haptikfixation und
3) Kapsulorhexis-Größe und -Konfiguration.Material
und Methode Autopsieaugen mit 3-stückigen
Silikon-Optik-PMMA-Haptik-Designs und Silikon-Optik-Prolene-Haptik-Designs,
zugeleitet zwischen Januar 1993 und Dezember 2000 wurden mittels der
posterioren Miyake-Apple-Technik untersucht. 457 Augen wurden bezüglich
Areal und Intensität der Soemmerring-Ring-Bildung und Fixationstyp
evaluiert. Durchmesser und Konfiguration der Rhexis wurden bei 221 Augen
analysiert.Ergebnisse 1) Das Ausmaß der
Soemmerring-Ring-Bildung war statistisch signifikant höher bei
Kapsulotomieaugen in beiden Linsendesigns. 2) Der Anteil nicht
kapselsackfixierter Linsen war bei Kapsulotomieaugen offensichtlich
größer. Der Unterschied zeigte sich jedoch statistisch nicht
signifikant. 3) Die Augen mit Kapsulotomie zeigten in beiden Linsendesigns
statistisch hoch signifikant größere Areale der Rhexis, die den
Optikrand nicht bedeckten.Schlussfolgerungen 1) Die
Studie bestätigt den klinischen Eindruck, dass die Nachstarrate
abhängig von sorgfältiger Rindenrestentfernung und der Entfernung
äquatorialer Linsenepithelien ist. 2) Haptikfixation außerhalb des
Kapselsacks scheint das Nachstarrisiko zu erhöhen. 3) Die Daten
bestätigen den Zusammenhang zwischen Rhexiskonfiguration und Nachstar.
Eine Kapsulorhexis, die den kompletten Optikrand bedeckt, ist optimal zur
Nachstarprävention.
Background The purpose of this study was to
analyze any possible surgical reasons which may have had caused posterior
capsule opacification in 3-piece silicone IOLs that had required Nd:YAG laser
treatment. Special attention was given to 1) quality of cortical clean up, 2)
type of haptic fixation, and 3) continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) size
and shape.Materials and Methods Human eyes obtained
post-mortem implanted with 3-piece silicone optic - PMMA haptic (SI 40
NB) and 3-piece silicone optic - Prolene haptic (SI 30 NB) designs IOLs,
accessioned between January 1993 and December 2000 were evaluated by gross
examination from behind under an operating microscope using the Miyake-Apple
posterior photographic technique. The area and intensity of Soemmerring's
ring and type of fixation was studied in 457 eyes. The mean diameter of the CCC
and relation of the CCC edge to the optic rim were analyzed in 221 eyes.Results 1) The amount of Soemmerring's ring formation
was significantly larger in the group of IOLs requiring Nd:YAG capsulotomy in
both the SI 40 NB and SI 30 NB design than in the IOLs without capsulotomies.
2) The percentage of not in-the-bag fixated IOLs in both the SI 40 NB and SI 30
NB design was larger in the “Nd:YAG groups”, without being
statistically significant. 3) The “Nd:YAG groups” showed a
significant higher amount of non overlapping clock hours of the CCC edge in
relation to the optic rim.Conclusion 1) The data confirm
the clinical assumption that the incidence of PCO is correlated with the
cortical clean up. 2) Our findings also support the clinical assumption, that
poor IOL fixation increases the risk of PCO. 3) This study also verifies the
relation of the CCC to PCO, namely a relatively small CCC covering the entire
optic rim is best to reduce the Nd:YAG laser rate.
