MICs included posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, zonular dialysis, nucleus drop. High-risk cases were excluded.

Relative risk (RR) analysis showed a 3-fold higher MIC risk for the senior resident group (RR\u2009=\u20093.034; 95% CI: 1.169\u20137.875). Among the 25 cases with MICs in the senior resident group, posterior capsule rupture (24 cases) and vitreous loss (22 cases) were the most frequent, occurring predominantly during cortical cleanup (16 cases) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).

The most common management steps for complicated cases were anterior vitrectomy and sulcus IOL implantation.
