Surgical6
Opening the globe for a surgical iridectomy in a patient with high intraocular pressure greatly increases the risk of suprachoroidal hemorrhage, with potential for associated expulsive hemorrhage. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] Surgical iridectomy is commonly indicated and performed in the following cases:[citation needed] Cataract surgery in a glaucoma patient Combined procedure for cataract and glaucoma Acute closed-angle glaucoma Posterior capsular tears with vitreous loss Implantation of anterior chamber IOL. (wikipedia.org)
Patients undergoing surgical iridectomy were dilated routinely after surgery, and shallow anterior chambers were not uncommon. (medscape.com)
Patients undergoing surgical iridectomy for AACG who were dilated postoperatively and had shallow anterior chambers not infrequently formed PAS. (medscape.com)
This procedure usually can be accomplished using a laser (Nd:YAG, argon, or both), but, sometimes, in the case of severe inflammation, a surgical iridectomy may be necessary. (medscape.com)
Surgical iridectomy may be more successful in such cases. (medscape.com)

Surgery2
Filtration surgery is indicated if the anterior chamber angle fails to open following iridectomy, indicative of synechial closure, and IOP remains uncontrolled despite maximum tolerated medical therapy. (medscape.com)
The surgery consisted of pars plana vitrectomy, induction of a limited retinal detachment, and peripheral retinotomy for insertion of the monolayer using a novel tissue injector, followed by silicone oil tamponade injection, laser photocoagulation around the retinotomy site, and inferior iridectomy.

Operation1
Like iridectomy this operation sometimes succeeds temporarily, but, according to Elliott himself, it may fail to check the optic atrophy and decline of vision even when the relief of tension is complete. (iblindness.org)
Treatment1
Posey claims that such treatment gives a larger proportion of successes than iridectomy. (iblindness.org)
Iridotomy6
