[Value of posterior capsulorrhexis during combined phacoemulsification and silicone oil removal].
Combined surgery with silicone oil removal, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was retrospectively evaluated in 9 eyes of 9 patients. Visual acuity was better after surgery in 7 eyes, and 8 eyes did not required further posterior capsulotomy during follow-up (10 months). In 2 eyes post-op intraocular inflammation was observed. Redetachment of the retina occurred in one eye. Posterior capsulorrhexis can be done during cataract surgery and silicone oil removal in a vitrectomised eye, without inducing direct complications.
