Abstract：Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) for decreasing postoperative complications in complex cataract surgery. Methods Eighty-eight cases (121 eyes) of complex cataract were collected and divided into two groups: experimental group (43 cases, 58 eyes) and control group (45cases, 63 eyes), including traumatic cataract, complicated cataract with uveifis and complicated cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery. During the cataract operation,TA 2rag was injected into the anterior chamber while the control group had no TA injection in experimental group. The follow-up time was between 3 and 24 months. Postoperative complications and visual acuity were observed. Results Anterior chamber inflammatory reaction in experimental group(1.73%) was less(P<0. 05) than that in the control group(20.63%)The incidence of posterior synechia and posterior capsule opacification in experimental group(6.90%, 5.17%) was lower (P<0.05) than that in control group (23.81% vs 19.05%). The visual acuity(above 0.5) in experimental group(84.48%) was better(P<0.05) than that in control group (65.08%). None of these eyes bad corneal endothelial decompensation and durative high intraoeular pressure. Conclusion Injecting TA into anterior chamber in complex cataract surgery is a safe and convenient method. It proves to prevent postoperative complications effectively and provide a better visual acuity.
