CataractCoach 1335: behind the scenes: inside my OR - cataract surgery
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Surgeons from around the world frequently email me asking to come visit my operating room to watch surgery. In the OR, an observer would only be able to see a limited amount -- just the view of the room and the video monitor showing the microscope view. You can see the room view in this video and the microscope view is what we normally share here on CataractCoach.
Our standards for cataract surgery are very high -- this is the highest level of care and it is exactly how I would want surgery done on my own eyes. The staff members are excellent and they work at a relaxed but efficient pace. The total time to clean the room, set up everything, do the time-out, prep & drape the patient, complete the surgery, and then prepare for the next case is about 15 minutes. This is about the same pace as previous posts about cycle time that we featured here in the past. In the morning shown here, we completed 10 cataract cases by 9:30am with a start time of 6:30am, and that included two complex cases which required more time. Again, remember that it is not about speed -- but rather being in the state of flow where efficiency is natural. Tomorrow I will post the microscope view of the the actual surgery shown here.
No other surgeon sharing this kind of information. We really would like to thank Prof. for his kindness, treat patient really good, and provide teaching to everyone. Very best wishes and Happy New Year to Prof. Dr. Devgan!
Happy New Year Dr. Uday 🎄 thank you for making our knowledge deep day by day and being with us even on holidays, wish you great surgery performances, super duper videos and happy patients, health and year full of love ✨
Thank you for the kind wishes. Happy New Year.
I thought I never heard this, I rather do 6 beautiful and perfect surgeries than 8 or 10 in a day. Normally surgeons wants to go go. They haven’t even finished one already thinking on the next one. Thanks
Happy New Year Dr Devgan
Thank you for all your videos who help us !
God bless you!
I’m having this surgery next week. Thanks for showing this to me.
Hey... Dr dr Devgan, i find your videos very informative and helpful. I wanted to ask a question about your scrub tech. As i see her in this video swinging her arms, i think she wants to dry them after washing up with surgical pyodine scrub solution. Water drops near elbow might travel back towards hands as she swing her arms and compromise the purpose to get arms and hands germ free. We don't allow this movement here and we are taught not to do that. What u say about it
she is using an alcohol based cleaner on her hands which evaporates very quickly (like Sterillium). The first scrub of the day is with water and povido-iodine scrub, then Sterillium between every case. In this video, notice how she does not need to use a towel to dry her hands -- the alcohol solution has already evaporated. There are no water droplets (or any other fluid droplets) to become airborne.
@@UdayDevgan right. Thanks
Happy new year dear dr. Thank you for your great teachings. Greetings from Colombia.
Happy New Year sir ! You videos are amazing ! Looking forward to learning more from you in 2022 too ! :)
Great video!
Hot topic question - Have you taken any measures in your practice to reduce carbon emissions related to cataract surgery?
MrWhatshisface: Who the hell gives a flying fuck? This is life changing surgery. You’re talking complete bulltish.
Hello Dr. Devgan,
Wishing you a very Happy New Year. May this year bring you lots of joy, happiness, good health and delicious food🙏
Ms. Kaur.
thank you. Happy New Year.
Happy new year Sir. Thanks for all your Educative and fun videos always. look forward to them everyday
Thank you for message. Happy New Year.
Do you work out of just one room or bounce between two?
either is fine with me. on this day, just the one room. With a cycle time of 15 to 20 min per case, that's an easy 3 cases per hour in the one room. On this date, this was the 10th case completed by 9:30am (start time of 6:30am) and we even had two more complicated cases which took a bit longer (10 min cut time instead of 5 min cut time)
Thanks Dr. Uday for your sharing and invitation!
You are very welcome. Happy New Year.
God bless you dear sir
Thank you. Happy New Year.
Thanks dr Devgan for sharing so many gems with us. @ questions for you; I am not sure If I am mistaken but I saw 8 staff members inside the operating room. I assume that the surgery cost increases a lot AND maybe the risk of infection as well...., no?
No issues with infection. Zero endophthalmitis in 25 years
Please show us a video of donning and drapping by ur assistant

Awesome sir
You are very efficient using one room. Does your cataract surgery suite have only one room?
we have 7 operating rooms at our surgery center. This video is to show how you can be efficient in one room. Alternating between two or more operating rooms can be even more time efficient for the surgeon.
Looks like the camera has cateract problem. Let’s operate on the camera lens first.
He stated at the beginning of the video that he was blurring the video to provide anonymity for the people involved.
