Prevention and treatment of complications due to combined surgery for glaucoma and cataract
Martin XDBulletin de la Société Belge d'Ophtalmologie 2000; 73-86
Complications of combined glaucoma and cataract surgery are frequent, which is why prevention is necessary, based on the correctness of the operative indication, the most appropriate technique, and the quality of execution. The main topics are reviewed in this paper. When prevention was not sufficient and complications occur, it is necessary to recognize their cause. Complications may occur early or late, may not have any clinical consequences or, on the other hand, have serious ones. The most frequent complications and their treatment are reported. A surgical revision technique, useful in cases of either filtration failure or severe hypotony, is proposed and discussed according to the most recent data in the literature. LA: French
