- Abstract:
- PURPOSE: To assess the rate of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (pCME) in uneventful cataract surgery in surgeons in training vs experienced surgeons and to analyze the rate of pCME according to surgeon's sex. METHODS: Medical reports post phacoemulsification between 2010 and 2018 at the Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Graz, Austria, were reviewed for pCME. A running lifetime number of preceding cataract surgeries was used to express hands-on experience. A cut-off number of 300 surgeries was defined to distinguish between surgeons in training and experienced surgeons. Outcome parameters were incidence of pCME, patient's sex and age, laterality of eye, coexistence of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX), duration of surgery and surgeon's sex. RESULTS: 25.422 surgeries on 18.266 patients were included. The majority was performed by experienced surgeons (23.139, 91.0%) vs 2.283 (9.0%) by surgeons in training (25 surgeons, 9 (36%) female and 16 (64%) male). pCME occurred in 32 eyes (1.4%) following surgery by surgeons in training and in 152 eyes (0.7%) following surgery by experienced surgeons. Chance for pCME was 1.57 higher in training surgeries (95% CI 1.03-2.41, p = 0.034) and longer duration (OR = 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.07, p = 0.001). After excluding the first 100 surgeries for every surgeon in training similar results were observed. No difference in risk for pCME was found between female and male surgeons in both groups (training and experienced surgeons). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the rate for pCME after uneventful cataract surgery is significantly higher for surgeons in training but steadily decreasing and associated to surgical time. No difference in the risk for pCME was found between female and male surgeons.
