Chronological Versus Non-chronological Phacoemulsification Training
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Chronological phacoemulsification training: Residents trained step-by-step in the natural order of phacoemulsification (incision, capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, phacoemulsification, irrigation/aspiration, IOL implantation, wound closure).
Non-Chronological phacoemulsification training: Residents trained initially on selected steps (e.g., wound construction, IOL implantation, cortical cleanup) before progressing to more critical steps such as capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between two methods used in training residents on phacoemulsification. The residents were classified into two groups; the first group were trained on surgical steps in a chronological order, while the second groups in non-chronological order. The outcomes included surgical competency, success rate and incidence of complications.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Success rate — From enrollment till three months after the last surgery
