Pathology of canine cataract surgery complications
2002
Abstract AIM: To compare pathological complications arising from 2 methods of canine cataract surgery, manual extracapsular cataract extraction (MECCE) and the more automated phacoemulsification and aspiration (PA). METHODS: Case material presented to the Comparative Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory, University of North Carolina over the previous 20 years (1979–1999) was searched for cases with a history of prior cataract surgery. Data were obtained from the pathology accession forms, and submitting veterinarians were contacted to verify and complete missing data where possible. The slides were re-examined, histological features of surgical complications were noted and secondary changes recorded. RESULTS: Fourteen canine post-cataract-surgery cases were reviewed, the average age of the group being 7.7 years. Of the 14 eyes, 7 had surgery performed using MECCE, and 7 using PA. Of the 7 eyes that underwent MECCE surgery, 5 were enucleated and diagnosed on both clinical and pathological grounds with glaucoma....
