Results of different teaching methods.(2004-09-30) Hennig, Albrecht; Schroeder, Bernd; Kumar, JitendraWe report the learning curves of three eye surgeons converting from sutureless extracapsular cataract extraction to phacoemulsification using different teaching methods. Posterior capsule rupture (PCR) as a per-operative complication and visual outcome of the first 100 operations were analysed. The PCR rate was 4% and 15% in supervised and unsupervised surgery respectively.
