| Popis: | AIM: To compare the incidence of intraoperative complications during primary phacoemulsification (phaco) surgery between resident surgeons (residents) and staff surgeons (specialists) and to objectively determine the difficulty of stages in phaco surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study included cases of phaco cataract surgery performed between January and December 2019. There were no exclusion criteria. For each patient, demographics, clinical history, case complexity, type of surgeon, and operative details were reviewed. Primary outcomes included intraoperative complication rates and the objective measure of difficulty in the steps of the surgery performed by residents and specialists. RESULTS: A total of 3272 cases were included; 7.4% (n=241) of cases were performed by residents. The overall complication rate was 5.4% (n=177). The intraoperative complication rate was significantly higher (P |
