Glaucoma triple procedure: A one-site vs. a two-site approach

The purpose of this study is to describe and evaluate the success rate of c ombined glaucoma and smalt cataract surgery by means of a one-site versus t wo-site approach. Fifty-eight eyes of fifty-five patients undergoing combin ed surgery were operated: thirty-one eyes underwent two-site approach and t wenty-seven eyes underwent one-sire approach. Short term and long term mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was similar in both groups. There was no signif icant difference in, postoperative inflammation and complication rates betw een two groups. There is no significant difference in the postoperative res ults in those two different approaches to perform combined operations of ca taract and glaucoma.
