PURPOSE • Tocomparethesafetyandefficacy of Whitestar ICE and CASE settingswithcruisecontrolsystem in bimanual MICS. Duet system Micro forceps Divide & Conquer
METHODS • Between January 2006 and March 2008, MICS (G1) was performed in 20 eyes of 18 patients by using the AMO-Sovereign Whitestar surgical systemwiththeaid of cruisecontrolsystem. • MICS (G2) was performed in 20 eyes of 17 patientsby using the AMO-Sovereign Whitestar surgical systemwith ICE and CASE settings. • Patients were chosen according to their nuclei hardness (grade3-4). • Patients were examined for: • intraoperative complications, • Mean phaco time • Total phaco % • EPT • % endothelial cell loss • postoperative corneal edema and • anterior chamber reactions.
METHODS • Phaco1 – Grooving • AspirationVaccum WhiteStar • Unoccluded& 22cc/min.50 mmHg30%-50% • OccludedLinear PanelLinear • Phaco2 – Chopping • Aspiration Vaccum WhiteStar • Unoccluded& 28cc/min.350 mmHg30%-50% • OccludedLinearLinearLinear • C/F (33%) Operationcycleused in bothgroups • ICE 1 ms/constantkick • CASE vaccum200 mmHG
ENERGY PARAMETERS AND ENDOTHELIAL CELL LOSSES MICS + CRUISE CONTROL • Mean EPT (seconds): • 3.75 (SD 1.18) • Mean US time (min.): • 1.45 (SD 0.18) • Mean total phaco %: • 5.1 (SD 1.3) MICS + ICE&CASE • Mean EPT (seconds): • 3.22 (SD 1.38) • Mean US time (min.): • 1.24 (SD 0.22) • Mean total phaco %: • 4.8 (SD 1.1)
There was not any complication affecting the visual outcome in both groups. There was not any statistical significance between the groups in the values of the; endothelial cell loss the EPT the rate of intraoperative complications, the grade of postoperative corneal edemaand anterior chamber reactions No corneal burn was seen and both types of operations were performed safely and efficiently in hard cataracts.

DISCUSSION • MICS has many advantages; • Switch incisions, create space and manipulate lens fragments with irrigation, • Irrigate without pushing the lens fragments away from the aspiration tip, • Increase safety, less turbulent and more stable anterior chamber, • Improved control on hydrodissection and capsulorhexsis, • less risk of leakage, theoretically reduced risk of endophthalmitis, • accelerate visual rehabilitation, astigmatically neutral ( <1.5 mm) • Main limiting factors (1); • The limits in IOL technology (this field continues to grow rapidly), • the narrow lumens of the irrigating choppers that limits the max vacuum levels (Both ICE and CASE systemsandCruise Control system allows us to use higher vacuum settings by controlling post occlusion surges 2) • the increase risk of corneal burn (3), (The risk is low if the phaco device and the settings were appropriate for this surgery) • The safety and efficacy of bimanual MICS increases by the aid of cruise control system which provides higher vacuum, less US energy and less turbulance.

DISCUSSION • The Cruise Control was designed to reduce postocclusion surge with standard phaco instrumentation. However, its ideal application is with bimanual phaco, in which more limited irrigation inflow has otherwise prevented the safe use of high vacuum settings from surge. • The device consists of a 2 cm flow-restricting segment with a 0.3 mm internal lumen. It is positioned behind a mesh filter that traps emulsified nuclear material before it can clog the flow restrictor. • 400 mm Hg high-vacuum bimanual phaco attainable with this device. (1) • Up to 300 mm Hg vacuum was used in G 1, the operations performed safely without any complication. Chang DF.

DISCUSSION • In recent years, damage to corneal endothelial cells during cataract extraction has been minimized as a result of better instrumentation, newer viscoelastic materials, and improved surgical techniques which aims to reduce phaco time (1). • Studies report endothelial cell loss rates from 4% to 15% after phacoemulsification by experienced surgeons (2,3) • The 5.7% and 5.2% of mean endothelial cell losses demonstrated the safety of the surgeries performed in hard cataracts.Bothsystemsgive us toabilitytoperform MICS in hard cataracts Holzer MP, Tetz MR, Auffarth GU, et al.
