    Summary

    A novel combined cataract extraction and glaucoma surgery offers good intraocular pressure control. This modified filtration technique creates a scleral valve, preventing complications and ensuring effective aqueous humor drainage post-operation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cataract extraction and glaucoma management often require separate procedures.
    • Standard filtration surgeries carry risks of complications like flat anterior chambers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new combined cataract extraction-glaucoma surgical procedure.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this modified filtration technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified standard filtration surgery involving a shelved posterior scleral lip excision (4 mm, not full thickness).
    • Development of a scleral "valve" for controlled aqueous humor egress.
    • Application in 15 cases of combined cataract and glaucoma surgery.

    Main Results:

    • No serious complications were reported in the 15 cases.
    • A flat anterior chamber did not occur in any case.
    • Good intraocular pressure control was achieved in 14 out of 15 patients.
    • Filtering blebs were observed in nine cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The new combined cataract extraction-glaucoma procedure is safe and effective.
    • The modified scleral lip technique provides reliable intraocular pressure reduction.
    • This approach minimizes the risk of postoperative complications.
