Abstract

Comparison of peristaltic and Venturi pumps in bimanual microincision phacoemulsification on the success of the cataract surgery by using sleeveless phaco tip. Bimanual microincision phacoemulsification was done in 49 eyes using a 1.4-mm temporal clear corneal incision. A peristaltic pump was used in 23 eyes, and a Venturi pump was used in 26 eyes for phacoemulsification. Intraoperative complications, anterior chamber stability, and mean duration of surgery were recorded. Duration of surgery was shorter in the Venturi pump group. Anterior chamber stability could not be established in 17 eyes in the peristaltic pump group; it was established in all eyes in the Venturi pump group. Corneal burns were observed in two eyes in the peristaltic pump group and no eyes in the Venturi pump group. Use of a Venturi pump system and a vented gas-forced infusion system can significantly shorten surgery time and reduce risk of thermal burns.
