Abstract In this report is submitted a statistical analysis of the records of 500 consecutive cases of intracapsular extraction performed by me and my associates on the staff of the University of Wisconsin General Hospital up to December 1940. I reported 200 of these cases before the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology in 1937.1 The data concerning these two series of intracapsular operations, 200 in the first and 300 in the second, have been combined here in order to present a more comprehensive survey of our results. A full discussion of the operative technic employed, namely, the forceps expression method, together with the preoperative and postoperative care of the patient, was given in the previous paper and will not be repeated here. This report, therefore, will be limited in this respect to such additional information as has been gleaned from experience in the second series of 300 cases. Since References 1. Davis, F.

It occurred three and a half years after operation, while the patient was shoveling coal. During the past two years, in an additional 400 intracapsular operations performed since this series of 500 operations was reviewed, 3 additional cases of detachment have been encountered. Two occurred in 1 patient, in the first eye one year and in the second eye three months after operation. No vitreous was lost in either eye, and postoperative healing was prompt, with visual acuity of 20/30, maintained up to the time the detachments occurred. In the third case a detachment, was noted one month after operation. The patient had pernicious anemia and suffered a cerebral vascular accident four months after the operation for cataract, while waiting in the hospital in preparation for an operation for reattachment of the retina. The operation was uncomplicated by either bleeding or loss of vitreous, and healing was prompt. Thus, we have had to date 5 cases of detachment in a series of 900 intracapsular operations, occurring three and a half years, one and a half years, one year, three months and one month respectively after operation. 21.
