Expulsive hemorrhage after glaucoma filtering surgery.
AIMS To evaluate the incidence, patient risk factors, diagnosis and management of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after glaucoma filtering surgery. METHODS Retrospective case series study comprised 1553 eyes having glaucoma filtering surgery during the last 15 years (between January 1993 and December 2007) at our department. Observations included incidence, patient risk factors, peri and post...
متن کاملAnti-VEGF Agents and Glaucoma Filtering Surgery
Despite the introduction of various modern and minimally invasive glaucoma procedures, trabeculectomy is still considered to be the most effective treatment for glaucoma and the cornerstone of management for this potentially blinding condition. 1 It is a rather unique surgical procedure in medicine, because prevention of wound healing is crucial for surgical success. 2 Indeed, progressive fibro...
متن کاملManagement of hypotony after glaucoma filtering surgery
A 39-year-old male with open angle glaucoma in both eyes visited our clinic. The intraocular pressure (IOP) of both eyes fluctuated between 15 mmHg and 25 mmHg. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye. He underwent trabeculectomy with an adjunctive agent (mitomycin C; concentration, 0.2 mg/mL) smoothly on the right eye. After the removal of ...
متن کاملElectroporation and bleomycin in glaucoma-filtering surgery.
PURPOSE To develop a new treatment in glaucoma-filtering surgery using combined treatment with electroporation and the antiproliferative drug bleomycin. METHODS Pigmented rabbits were treated with both bleomycin (10 micrograms/ml) and localized electric pulses (EP) using a special probe (5 V/cm, 100 msec, 8 pulses) (n = 10; group A). After EP treatment, bleomycin was washed out with 50 ml bal...
متن کاملNon-Penetrating Glaucoma Filtering Surgery-An overview
Trabeculectomy remains the standard surgery for intraocular pressure control for glaucoma. It involves a full thickness penetration of sclera, to allow aqueous seepage to subconjunctival space under a scleral flap. However, it carries the risk of serious bleb related complications like overfiltration, hypotony and consequent persistent choroidal detachment, shallow anterior chamber, cataract, p...
