title: [Cataract surgery and postoperative endophthalmitis].
abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the incidence of endophthalmitis after the phacoemulsification.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective clinical study that includes all the patients that have been operated and all cases of endophthalmitis survived after that in the period between 1.06.2007-31.05.2008 in the Central Military Hospital.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were 3 cases of exogenous endophthalmitis after the cataract surgery. In all of these cases: the inflammatory reaction was limited in the anterior chamber; phacoemulsification; there were no accidents in the cataract surgery; it was performed 2.75 mm clear corneal incision; it was no suture.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a possibility of infections even after phacoemulsification without sutures.
