- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the complications occurring in the first ten phacoemulsification (PE) surgeries performed by assistant surgeons and their confidence levels, with respect to three different anesthesia methods. Material and Method: A total of 220 eyes of 220 patients who underwent their first ten PE surgeries performed by 22 assistant surgeons at our clinic were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups (topical anesthesia-group 1, retrobulbar anesthesiagroup 2, and general anesthesia-group 3) according to the type of anesthesia used. Peri- and postoperative complications, best-corrected visual acuity, and the number of cases where an experienced surgeon intervened were analyzed. Data between groups were compared using chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were 116 eyes in group 1, 54 eyes in group 2, and 50 eyes in group 3. Complications during the capsulorhexis were more frequently observed in the topical anesthesia group. Postoperative complications and mean best-corrected visual acuity were similar among the groups. However, the confidence levels of resident surgeons were found to be significantly higher in the general anesthesia group. Conclusion: Although no significant differences were found in terms of per- and postoperative complications, starting the first ten PE surgeries with general anesthesia or retrobulbar anesthesia instead of topical anesthesia may be safer for both resident and experienced surgeons in terms of their confidence levels.
