Patient had post op retained nuclear fragment after having cataract surgery. This was removed by Phacoemulsification : The main surgical incision was accessed w/o having to make second incision, and the phaco tip was placed in the eye, and the fragment was simply aspirated w/o any difficulty at all.
Cataract surgery coded as complex (CPT code 66982) was the factor associated most significantly with reoperation for a retained lens fragment, being 2.6 times more likely compared with standard cataract surgery (CPT code 66984). Current Procedural Terminology code 66982 includes the use of iris expansion devices.

Phacoemulsification is the most common type of cataract surgery performed in the world. During this procedure, a small ultrasonic handpiece is used to break up the clouded lens of the eye. Once the lens is emulsified, it can be removed. An intraocular lens (IOL) can then be placed to restore the vision of the patient.
Though rarely used nowadays, Intracapsular Cataract surgery requires an even larger incision as compared to Extracapsular surgery, through which the entire lens with surrounding capsule is removed. The IOL (intraocular lens) is placed in a different location, in front of the iris, in this surgical procedure.
