Literature review and retrospective observational study of all patients undergoing cataract surgery on the cataract surgery project lists during 2006. Follow-up occurred till last discharge visit.

(p=0.103). Secondary outcomes: Intraoperative complications were noted in 7.34% in the phacoemulsification group and in 12.87% of the scleral tunnel extracapsular cataract extraction group. (p=0.031). The posterior capsule rupture rate was 3.94% in the phacoemulsification group and 7.6% in the scleral tunnel extracapsular cataract extraction group. (p=0.066).en_ZA
