Resumen
GUTIERREZ CASTILLO, Marietta et al. Posterior capsule rupture in crystalline lens surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.1 Epub 30-Jun-2019. ISSN 1561-3070.
Cataract surgery is nowadays a challenge for eye surgeons. Thousands of patients undergo cataract surgery every year with the sole purpose of improving their visual quality and thus their quality of life. It is therefore crucial that complications do not occur during surgery, so that the procedure may be conducted without any mishap. Cataract surgeons should be aware of the new surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology in the field to meet the demands of patients undergoing this surgical procedure. Bearing in mind that posterior capsule rupture is one of the most common and feared intraoperative complications, a search was conducted of papers published on the Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Health Library, in the past ten years, with the purpose of collecting information about the main risk factors, diagnosis, management and complications associated to capsule rupture after lens surgery.
