Abstract
Background: To identify patient related and surgeon related factors contributing to complications during a cataract
surgery which can be minimized with stringent protocols. This can be crucial in improving the quality of cataract surgery
while performing high volume cataract surgeries. This cohort study assessed t Method: he number of patients requiring re-surgeries and the
factors contributing to the same In our department, for the months of June, July and August Result: the total number of patients operated were
about 367. And the patients requiring re-surgeries during this period were about 16 (4.35%). Being a teaching hospital with an active resident
program this rate of complication falls within the acceptable levels.Eventhough stict adherence to the standard protocol was followed, we
encountered these complications due to patient related factors which were unavoidable Though SICS is Conclusion: a very effective and safe
procedure, complications do occur largely because of patient related factors like age, grade of cataract, systemic co-morbidities, and ocular factors
like pseduoexfoliation, small pupil and due to uncooperative patients during surgery.
