Modified triple procedure using a temporary keratoprosthesis for closed-system, small-incision cataract surgery.
In patients with corneal disease and cataract, the combined surgical approach yields quick rehabilitation and excellent visual results. Working on an open eye for cataract removal and posterior chamber lens implantation, however, makes the procedure risky and difficult. Using a temporary keratoprosthesis and a small-incision technique, surgery can be performed in a fully closed system, optimizing the safety and precision of the procedure.
