Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE) Introduction:

Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE) is a cataract surgery performed to remove a cloudy eye lens while preserving the posterior lens capsule. The cataract is removed through a larger incision compared to modern phacoemulsification techniques. An artificial intraocular lens is implanted to restore vision after the cataract has been removed.

Controlled Lens Removal Through a Conventional Cataract Surgery Technique

This procedure is performed under local or regional anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the operation. The eye and surrounding facial area are prepared with antiseptic solutions and covered using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to maintain a safe surgical environment. A carefully planned incision is created to access the cataractous lens and allow its removal in one piece. Specialized ophthalmic instruments are used to extract the cloudy lens while preserving the posterior capsule for lens support. A sterile intraocular lens is then implanted into the remaining capsular structure to restore focusing ability. After confirming proper lens positioning, the surgical site is protected with sterile disposables to support healing and reduce infection risk. 

Reasons for Performing Traditional Cataract Surgery 

  • Mature cataracts that are difficult to remove using phacoemulsification 
  • Dense cataracts with hard lens nuclei 
  • Limited availability of advanced phacoemulsification equipment 
  • Cataracts causing severe vision impairment 
  • Cases where conventional cataract extraction is considered more suitable by the surgeon
