Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of 25 gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in various vitreoretinal disorders. Material and Methods: 30 eyes of 30 patients who were operated in the Batigoz Eye Health Center due to mild to moderate cataract and various retinal disorders between the period of September 2014 and April 2017 were reviewed. Visual acuity before and after surgery was evaluated. In addition, complications that occurred in patients were recorded. Results: Mean age of patients was 61.3±13.4 years. 14 of the patients were female and 16 were male. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 8.53 ± 2.04 months (range from 5 to 12). The indications for phacovitrectomy were epiretinal membrane (54%), vitreous haemorrhage (20%) and macular hole (26%). Visual acuity after surgery increased by at least 3 lines in all eyes. Mean preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity with logMAR were 0.76±0.73 and 0.11± 0.11, respectively (p=0.000). Posterior capsule opacification occured in 2 eyes (6.6%). No other complications were encountered. Conclusions: Femtosecond laserassisted cataract surgery combined with 25 gauge pars plana vitrectomy is a reliable and fast solution for patients with mild to moderate lens opacities and vitreoretinal pathology.
