Abstract :
Background:
Corneal decompensation is a medical condition characterized by opacity of the cornea. This condition arises as a result
of mechanical injury caused by inadvertent contact of intraocular instruments with the cornea during surgery. Cataract
extraction involves a surgical procedure to remove a clouded lens from the eye that has developed over, which can impede
vision in the affected eye.
Objectives:
To determine the prevalence and risk factors of post-operative corneal decompensation after cataract extraction
according to the type of surgical procedure
Methodology:
This is a Descriptive, retrospective, Cross sectional, hospital-based study, was conducted in Khartoum eye hospital,
from June 2021 to January 2022. Patients who underwent cataract extraction between June 2021 - January 2022 Patients
who were diagnosed with corneal decompensation were included. Data collection was conducted from medical record by
using data sheet. The data will be analyzed via SPSS program (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences) and Microsoft
Excel program. using chi square, t-test and correlation then be presented in the form of tables, bar charts and pie charts.
Results:
About patient’s gender, males were 53(48.2%), females were 57(51.8%), patients from 70 – 79 years were 42(38.2%),
60 – 69 years were 33(30%), 50 – 59 years were 20(18.2%), and 40 – 49 years were 15(13.6%). About Diagnosed with
symptoms of corneal Decompensation, yes 17(15.5%), No 93(84.5%), ; Extracapsular surgery was done in 55(50%) of
patients, Phaco was done in 35(31.8%) of patients, and small incision cataract surgery was done in 20(18.2%) of patients,
Glaucoma 7(15.5%) was the most common other contributing factors in followed by Trauma 4(36.4) and previous steroid
use was 1(25%) respectively, About experience any intra-operative complications, no 108(98.2%) patients, yes 2(1.8%)
patients.
Conclusion:
Most of patients were females, between 70-79 years old, Extracapsular surgery was the most occuring type of surgery.
Extracapsular surgery had the largest percentage of corneal decompensation. There was a notable correlation (significant
association) that was observed between between gender, age and corneal decompensation.
Recommendations:
Further research involving a larger sample size is necessary to validate the results of this study, Education programs
should be developed to raise the awareness of patients.
