Abstract
Complex posterior polar cataract is one of the difficult surgical challenges due to its high incidence of inadvertent posterior capsular disruption and intraoperative complications. We advocated a new surgical technique Hydissect a bimanual irrigation aspiration cannula controlled dissection, separation and extraction of cortical matter, epinuclear membrane and polar cataractous plaque with simultaneous posterior capsulorrhexis in 6 cases of complex posterior polar cataract, having complete adhesion of cataractous plaque and defective posterior capsule. Surgery was conducted successfully in all the 6 eyes. The incidence of successful posterior capsular rhexis was 100 %, vitrectomy was required in 2 cases (33.3 %),in the bag IOL was placed in all our cases 6 of 6 cases (100 %). Hydissect was highly effective in preventing the risks of further disruption of posterior capsule and posterior segment complications and simplifies phacoemulsification in complex posterior polar cataract.
