Blockexzision der Epithelinvasion nach Kataraktoperation - Bericht über 15 Patienten

Abstract

Surgical procedures with opening of the cyst (e.g. laser) are contraindicated and may lead to a transformation from cystic into diffuse epithelial invasion with potential blindness. The therapy of first choice in eyes with cystic epithelial ingrowth and an extension less than five clock hours is the curative block-excision technique combined with tectonic corneoscleral graft. Surgical results are excellent in order to regard a curative excision and the survival of the eye with acceptable achieved function in consideration of the difficult primary situation with intra- and postoperative complications due to previous cataract surgery.
