摘要
We describe 2 cases of posterior capsule rupture caused by Alcon reusable silicone irrigation/aspiration (I/A) tips. Scanning electron microscopy and reflected light microscopy of these tips revealed burring of the inner metallic shafts and tears in the silicone sleeves. A review of surgical video revealed that posterior capsule ruptures caused by the I/A tips occurred when the posterior capsule was aspirated ether through the aspiration port or through a tear in the silicone sleeve. Contact of the posterior capsule with the sharp metallic burrs on the inner metal tube can result in posterior capsule rupture. (C) 2018 ASCRS and ESCRS
