[Intraoperative complications in cataract surgery. A prospective study].
In a prospective study the important intraoperative complications encountered by two experienced and eight less experienced surgeons after 1708 cataract operations were analyzed. In 2.3% a lesion of the iris or iris sphincter occurred. The overall incidence of capsular ruptures was 0.94%. Zonular dialysis was found in 0.67%. If a severe intraoperative complication with a large capsular or zonular rupture is defined by the necessity for an anterior vitrectomy or the impossibility of implanting a standard posterior chamber lens, the rate of complications was about 0.4%. For the two experienced surgeons, only two anterior chamber lenses as stand-by lens were implanted out of 1500 operations.
