Summary:

Purpose: comparative assessment of temporal indicators of simultaneous binocular (BPhEC) and monocular (MPh-EC) phacoemulsification of cataract. Material and Methods. An analysis of 15 BPhEC and 30 MPhEC (according to the standard method) was carried out, during which the operating room load for one operation and the total time spent by the patient in the clinic were assessed. All patients were operated on by one surgeon. Results. Analysis of the clinical examination of patients after BPhEC and MPhEC indicates the absence of postoperative infectious complications. A significant (by 47.4 min, p<0.001) excess of the total time spent by a patient undergoing BPhEC compared to MPhEC was found. It is noteworthy that the total operating room load time during MPhEC and BPhEC practically did not differ and amounted to 26.3±0.9 and 26.2±0.8 minutes, respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion. The main principle that should be adhered to when performing BPhEC is to consider each eye operation as individual and autonomous. The correctness of this principle is confirmed by the data obtained in this study, indicating that the total operating room load time in the cases of BPhEC and MPhEC practically did not differ.
