[Triple procedure with phacoemulsification prior to grafting].
We report a surgical technique which combines phacoemulsification and posterior chamber in the bag intra-ocular lens implantation before penetrating keratoplasty. This combined technique can only be performed in eyes with clear cornea. This technique seems to be safer during cataract extraction. We compared this combined procedure with the classical technique which associates manual extracapsular extraction and posterior chamber intra-ocular lens implantation and penetrating keratoplasty.
