Table 2

Intraoperative complications rates of all study cases for each study group and respective values. Percentages are given in parentheses.

	Group A	Group B	valu	Total
PCR without lens fragment fall	26 (14.05%)	16 (5.05%)	0.0026	42 (8.36%)
ZD	2 (1.08%)	3 (0.95%)	1	5 (1%)
PCR with lens fragment fall	5 (2.7%)	6 (1.89%)	0.55	11 (2.19%)
PCR/ZD with vitreous loss	32 (17.3%)	23 (7.25%)	0.0032	55 (10.95%)
ACT/EC	9 (4.86%)	14 (4.42%)	0.83	23 (4.58%)
WD	3 (1.62%)	3 (0.95%)	0.67	6 (1.19%)
CL	1 (0.54%)	1 (0.32%)	1	2 (0.4%)
ACRLF	2 (1.08%)	3 (0.95%)	1	5 (1%)

PCR = posterior capsule rupture; ZD = zonular dehiscence; ACT = anterior capsule tear; EC = extended capsulorhexis; WD = wound dehiscence; CL = corneal lesions; ACRLF = anterior chamber retained lens fragments.
value (significance level) was calculated by means of Fisher’s exact test.
