  • Title: [Combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery].
    Author: Kook D, Haritoglou C, Kampik A, Kohnen T.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 2010 Aug; 227(8):630-7. PubMed ID: 20706971.
    Abstract:
    Both cataract and many vitreoretinal diseases occur more frequently and often at the same time in the elderly population. Therefore, one has to consider whether to combine cataract surgery and vitrectomy or to plan a sequential approach. The aim of the present survey - based on a thorough review of the current literature - is to point out the advantages and disadvantages of a combined versus a sequential approach. Furthermore, practically oriented guidelines have been compiled for finding the right indication for a combined procedure with regard to the underlying vitreoretinal disease.
