title: [Filtering blebs after cataract extraction (author's transl)].
abstract: Filtering blebs following cataract extraction with a limbus based flap may occur approximately 2 to 3% of the time. Difficulty with wearing of contact lens may ensue, the likelihood of infection with postoperative endophthalmitis is remote. A technique for repair by excision of the bleb with a sliding conjunctival flap is described. The results in five patients are reported.
