PURPOSE To compare the incidence of flap complications after creation of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flaps using a zero-compression microkeratome or a femtosecond laserSETTING John A Moran Eye Center, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USADESIGN Evidence-based manuscriptMETHODS The flap complication rate was evaluated during the initial 18 months of experience using a zero-compression microkeratome (Hansatome) or a femtosecond laser (IntraLase FS60) for flap creationRESULTS The flap complication rate was 14 2% in the microkeratome group and 15 2% in the femtosecond laser group (P = 5437) The intraoperative flap complication rate was 5 3% and 2 9%, respectively (P = 0111), and the postoperative flap complication rate, 89% and 12 3%, respectively (P = 0201) The most common intraoperative complication in the microkeratome group was major epithelial defect/sloughing, the rate (2 6%) was statistically significantly higher than in the femtosecond laser group (P = 0006) The most common postoperative complication in both groups was diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) (6 0%, microkeratome, 10 6%, femtosecond laser) (P = 0002)CONCLUSION Although the total complication rates between the 2 groups were similar, the microkeratome group had significantly more epithelial defects intraoperatively and the femtosecond laser group had significantly more DLK cases postoperatively
