    Combined trabeculectomy-cataract extraction effectively controls intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients with cataracts. This safe procedure offers significant benefits, with most patients achieving good outcomes and reduced medication needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Glaucoma and cataracts frequently coexist, necessitating treatment strategies that address both conditions.
    • Managing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients with cataracts presents a surgical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined trabeculectomy-cataract extraction.
    • To assess the postoperative intraocular pressure control and complication rates of the combined procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 37 eyes from 29 patients undergoing combined trabeculectomy-cataract extraction.
    • Average follow-up duration of 23.7 months.

    Main Results:

    • A high success rate of 94.6% for postoperative intraocular pressure control was achieved.

  • 59.5% of patients required no postoperative glaucoma medications.
  • Complication rates were comparable to cataract extraction alone, with transient hyphemas and shallow chambers observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined trabeculectomy-cataract extraction is a safe and effective procedure for patients with coexisting glaucoma and cataracts.
    • The benefits of enhanced intraocular pressure control with a single surgical intervention outweigh the minimal increase in surgical risks.
