OPERATIVE REPORT
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Cataract, *1 eye.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Cataract, *1 eye.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
Phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens
placement in the *1 eye.
SURGEON:
ANESTHESIA:
ANESTHESIOLOGIST:
Timothy J. Scott, M.D.
Topical with monitored anesthesia care.
*2
DETAILS OF PROCEDURE:
The patient was given preoperative dilating drops, Tetracaine
and *3 drops, brought back to the operating room in stable
condition. Under monitored anesthesia care the eye was prepped
and draped in the usual sterile ophthalmic fashion.
An *4 clear corneal paracentesis was followed by the injection
of lidocaine 1%, preservative free, for a total of 0.1 cc.
Viscoelastic filled the anterior chamber and a *5 clear corneal
keratome wound was created followed by a 360-degree tear
capsulorrhexis. Balanced salt solution hydrodissected and
delineated the lens. Phacoemulsification, inspiration, and
aspiration removed the lens in an uncomplicated fashion.
Viscoelastic filled the capsular bag. A foldable posterior
chamber intraocular lens by *6, model * of * diopters was
injected into the bag. Residual viscoelastic removed. Balanced
salt solution irrigated the corneal stroma to create a
watertight seal. *7 drops x5 were placed on the globe, the eye
patched, and the patient transferred to the postoperative
recovery room in stable condition.
