A comparison of macular edema formation in diabetic patients undergoing phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract extraction.
Al-Shifa J Ophthalmol Jan ;15(1):9-15.

This descriptive case series compared the frequency of macular edema formation in diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery. One of the groups underwent Extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) (N=56) while the other underwent phacoemulsification (N=44). Frequency of macular edema between phacoemulsification and ECCE was compared. The study concludes that for diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery, there is no significant difference between phacoemulsification and ECCE in terms of macular edema formation.
