■ Preoperatively, risk factors should be analyzed, for example, type of uveitis, course of inflammation, basic diagnostic
workup and complications like cystoid macular edema.
■ At the time of surgery, the eye should have been completely quiet for approximately 2–3 months.
■ Preoperative prophylaxis includes maintenance therapy, under which the eye remains quiet until surgery, and additional anti-inflammatory
treatment beginning approximately 1–2 weeks prior to surgery, systemic or topical corticosteroids.
■ Intraoperatively, intravenous methylprednisolone or intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide can be very effective in high-risk
patients in preventing postoperative complications.
■ Postoperative treatment should include systemic and topical corticosteroids, depending on the preoperative and intraoperative
situation.
