Shukhayev S.V., Naumenko V.V., Boiko E.V. PHACOEMULSIFICATION WITH FEMTO-LASER SUPPORT IN EYES WITH ENDOTHELIAL DYSTROPHY OF FUCHSFemtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is the most important innovation in cataract surgery in recent years. The purpose of the study was to assess the endothelial cell loss after FLACS procedure in the eyes with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. 50 patients (50 eyes) with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy were included into this prospective clinical study. All patients had central cornea guttata with warts and low endothelial cell density at the center of the cornea. 23 patients underwent FLACS procedure and other 27 patients underwent conventional manual surgery. Endothelial cell densities were measured before and 1 day, 1 month after the surgery at 7 standardized points of the cornea. Prior to the surgery, both groups showed no difference in cataract grade, nuclear density and endothelial cell density (p > 0.05). Postoperatively endothelial cell loss was significantly greater in the manual group (p < 0.05). For the preservation of the endothelial integrity, FLACS proves to be safer procedure.Key words: Key world: femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery, phacoemulsification, endothelial cell loss, Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy.
