Purpose: The aim is to describe the main characteristics of an anterior/posterior segment surgery and how to resolve intraoperative complications. Setting/Venue: The anterior and posterior segment surgical video was created at the Department of Ophthalmology, Virgin Macarena University Hospital, Seville, Spain. Methods: We present the case of a male with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and severe limbal deficiency who needed a Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis, reaching a visual acuity of 0.4 (0.05 before surgery). In the course of follow-up, he developed corneal melting with perforation, immune vitritis, and a large epimacular membrane. We decided to perform a 23-gauge vitrectomy associated with keratoprosthesis exchange. As a consequence of inappropriate anesthesia, the patient woke up during the surgery, provoking a retinal tear besides a choroidal detachment. These damages needed endolaser photocoagulation as well as silicone oil tamponade, forcing us to postpone the exchange. An intravitreal dexamethasone implant was also injected. Two months later, the silicone oil was removed, and the Boston keratoprosthesis was replaced by a new type 1 model with a titanium back plate, which likely improves biocompatibility and retention and may reduce complications such as retroprosthetic membranes and stromal corneal melts. Results: Good anatomical results were achieved, and visual acuity slightly improved to 0.2. Conclusions: Combined anterior and posterior segment surgery represents a great challenge that can improve not only visual acuity but also quality of life in patients with severe diseases such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
