Specular microscopic study following trebeculectomy and cataract extraction(one stage vs two stage surgery)

Dr. Neeharika Shah, Dr. Akruti Gohel

Abstract :

Purpose:

To do quantitative and qualitative analysis of corneal endothelium after cataract extraction & trabeculectomy with comparision of endothelial cell damage between one stage and two stage surgery.

Method:

The study was performed by examination of 30 cases for their corneal endothelial status pre operative and post operative(7^th day) following one stage and two stage surgery with specular microscope.

Result:

The difference in the corneal endothelial cell loss between the one stage and two stage surgery is found to be statistically insignificant on 7^th post operative day.
