Factors Associated to Cataract Surgery Failure at Kankan Regional Hospital

Abstract

operative complications such as corneal edema in 15 patients (24.6%) and hyphema in 3 patients (4.9%). Late postoperative complications were dominated by capsular fibrosis encountered in 42.89% of our patients. The causes of failure after cataract surgery were dominated by selection errors which accounted for 36.06% followed by late postoperative complications 34.43%. Conclusion: Like any surgery, cataract surgery can often be marred by various complications often occurring during the intraoperative or postoperative period. These complications in addition to negligence and/or non-deep analysis of certain cases (selection) are often associated with poor functional recovery.
