Hello all,
Extracapsular cataract extraction with anterior vitrectomy
DX:
Hypermature cataract 366.18
Phacolytic glaucoma 365.51
Zonular Dehiscence ??
"Trypan blue was injected into the anterior capsule for better visualization. Hypermature cataract was moved into the anterior chamber. The phaco handpiece and the apatula were used to remove the lens nucleus. The remaining lens material and capsular bag were removed using the anterior vitrector. The capsular bag had to be removed from the eye due to its instability and inability to hold an IOL. The ant. vitrector was then used to do a thorough anterior vitrectomy until were no vitreous strands in the anterior chamber."
IOL was not implanted.
66852? and not sure about Zonular ICD-9?
Thanks!
