Abstract :

Many eye surgeons are extremely competent in Phacoemulsification. Many others are competent in trabeculectomy and many are not competent in both the surgeries. But to manage a patient having cataract plus open angle glaucoma simultaneously, an eye surgeon needs to develop the skill of combined surgery i.e. phacoemulsification plus trabeculectomy in the same surgical setting. In this video based presentation, combined surgery will be demonstrated with emphasis on releasable sutures to control IOP postoperatively.
