Lensectomy Gone Awry

Arsham Sheybani, MD, joins the podcast to continue this season’s theme of surgical horror stories. He shares a case example with Blake Williamson, MD, MPH, and Gary Wörtz, MD, in which he performed lensectomy in the eye of a 60-year-old woman who presented with angle-closure glaucoma and very high IOP. Following routine phacoemulsification, the anterior chamber began to shallow, eventually resulting in suprachoroidal hemorrhage. Dr. Sheybani also shares advice for communicating with patients about difficult, unfortunate outcomes.
