ABSTRACT

It was performed a descriptive, retrospective study of the results of the Facochop surgical technique, during the facoemulsification in patients affected by cataract in the Ophthalmologic Center of Bayamo, during September - November of 2013, with the aim to describe its results. The sample is made by 43 eyes, operated by the same surgeon. The variables analyzed: age, sex, visual sharpness, complications and cell count before and after the intervention. Results: the feminine sex prevailed (61.54%), with greater incidence (48, 73%) in patients of 70 years and older, the preoperative visual sharpness with glasses predominated in the group of 0.4 to 0.6 (58.14%) and of 0.7 to 10 in the postoperative one (95, 34%), the split of back capsule (4, 65%) was the most frequent trans operative complication and the endothelitis (18, 60%) in the postoperative. The 53, 48 % of the eyes presented a preoperative cell count of 2 500 to 3000 cel/mm2 with an average of 2 516 cel/mm2, after the surgery 60, 48% presented a count out of 2000 to 2 499 cel/mm2, with an average of general cell loss about 327, that represented 14, 93% of the cell loss. This technique has superior visual results than the previous techniques, with fast incorporation to the daily activities.
