Thermal Imaging tudy Comparing Phacoemulification With the overeign With Whitetar ytem to the Legacy With AdvanTec and NeooniX ytem

Purpoe To ae intraoperative thermal level at the wound ite during divide-and-conquer phacoemulification with the overeign with Whitetar (W) ytem or the Legacy with AdvanTec and NeooniX (LAD) ytem. Deign Propective, randomized, parallel-group, comparative tudy. Method Twenty-ix ubject from a private clinical practice underwent divide-and-conquer phacoemulification with either the W ytem or the LAD ytem. CB/CF etting (60%/33% duty cycle) were utilized with W and 12 pule per econd with the LAD ytem. Key criteria aeed were peak wound-ite temperature, mean temperature change at the wound ite, effective phaco time, average phaco power, procedure time, amount of B ued, and urgical complication. Reult Mean temperature change at the wound ite wa greater for the LAD than the W group. There wa a tatitically ignificant difference (P = .0002) in mean peak wound temperature, with the LAD group having higher mean peak temperature (42.47 ± 5.33°C) than the W group (36.59 ± 1.33°C). Highet wound-ite temperature wa 51°C for the LAD group and 39.3°C for the W group. A tatitically ignificant difference (P = .0031) in mean peak temperature wa found between the LAD and W ytem for ubject with a cataract denity of 4: higher mean peak temperature were oberved for LAD patient with a cataract denity of 4. Concluion Our finding how that phacoemulification uing the W ytem reult in lower peak temperature and le temperature change at the phaco wound ite compared with the LAD ytem.
