An unusual complication of a postcataract filtering bleb.
Inadvertent blebs are sometimes encountered after cataract surgery using sutured limbal incisions. A number of surgical techniques have been described in the planned management of such blebs. Occasionally, an intraoperative bleb rupture may occur. The authors describe a rotational scleral autograft technique that can help in the management of this complication.
