Glaucoma laser suture lysis.
AIM Suture lysis is commonly performed after trabeculectomy to improve bleb function. It is often thought to be an innocuous procedure. This is the first large study to determine the safety of the procedure and compare results with a control group. METHODS Two hundred successive trabeculectomies performed between January 1992 and October 1993 were analysed. RESULTS Ninety nine eyes underwen...
متن کاملLaser suture lysis through thick blebs using the Blumenthal lens.
L aser suture lysis is commonly performed after trabeculectomy and is titrated to control postoperative flow through the filter to a target intraocular pressure. Originally, the flat edge of a Zeiss 4-mirror lens was used to compress the conjunctiva and Tenon capsule to view the sutures. The Hoskins lens designed for suture lysis improved the view and allowed eyelid elevation for better exposur...
متن کاملArgon laser suture lysis with different suture materials. An experimental study.
In an in vitro study, 10/0 nylon was found to require a significantly lower laser energy density to produce suture lysis following a single shot than either 10/0 Dacron or 10/0 prolene. Nylon and Dacron monofilament sutures ruptured at reproducible energy levels without significant observable changes at subthreshold irradiation. Prolene, however, was observed to stretch at energy levels below t...
متن کاملLaser vs. suture nerve anastomosis.
The repair of injured or transected nerves is frequently encountered in head and neck surgery. Recently, CO2 lasers with milliwatt capability and micrometer spot sizes have been developed that may be used in nerve anastomosis. A comparative study was performed between microsuture and CO2 laser repair of transected sciatic nerves in rats. Nerve regeneration was measured in terms of morphology, e...
متن کامل[Laser trabeculoplasty for glaucoma].
• The doctor will put drops in your eye to numb the eye. • A special microscope (slit lamp) and lens (goniolens) are used to guide the laser beam to the canals (trabecular meshwork) where fluid drains from the eye. • The doctor makes small burns in the trabecular meshwork. • At the end of the surgery, the doctor will put drops in your eye to prevent eye pressure from rising right away. Some peo...
