title: [Premises and preoperative causes of posterior capsule rupture during cataract surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Retrospective analyze of dependence between intra-operative lens posterior capsule rupture during cataract removal surgery and local and general patient condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  2092 cataract operations was performed in 1998-2001. 97 patients has a posterior capsule rupture. In 1029 phacoemulsifications were 48 capsule posterior ruptures and 49 in extracapsularies cataract removals.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Local changes, like grade of cataract maturity, PEX syndrome, inflammations and structural changes of vitreous body has a crucial influence on the operation process. Age of patient, metabolic abnormalities, diabetes, hypertension and collagen diseases are general causes of lens capsule posterior rupture.
