TABLE 3.
Concurrent Surgeries and Complications
| Concurrent Ocular Surgeries | # Eyes of # Patients |
|---|---|
| Pars plana vitrectomy | 33 eyes of 28 patients |
| Lensectomy without IOL | 8 eyes |
| Lensectomy with IOL | 2 eyes |
| Removal of prior tube | 8 eyes of 6 patients |
| Removal of Ahmed | 7 eyes of 5 patients |
| Removal of Baerveldt | 1 eye of 1 patient |
| Goniotomy | 7 eyes of 5 patients |
| Ipsilateral lateral rectus recession | 6 eyes of 4 patients |
| Keratoprosthesis | 1 eye of 1 patient |
| Complications | # of eyes |
| Retinal detachment | 7 eyes of 7 patients |
| Hypotony requiring surgery* | 4 eyes of 4 patients |
| Suprachoroidal hemorrhage | 1 eye of 1 patient |
| Keratoprosthesis extrusion | 1 eye of 1 patient |
| Vitreous hemorrhage† | 1 eye of 1 patient |
*
One eye had 2 Baerveldt failures due to hypotony. A Baerveldt 101-350 was initially implanted which was exchanged for a 101-250 device. The 101-250 device was then subsequently exchanged for an Ahmed FP8 implant.
†
The postoperative vitreous hemorrhage resolved spontaneously and thus was not considered a failure.
IOL indicates intraocular pressure.
