Trabeculectomy - Guided Deep Sclerectomy . a Novel Technique

Comparison between phaco-deep sclerectomy converted into phaco-trabeculectomy and uneventful phaco-deep sclerectomy.

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the results and complications of eyes that underwent a phaco-deep sclerectomy (DS) converted into phaco-trabeculectomy due to an intraoperative macroperforation with eyes undergoing uneventful phaco-DS. METHODS The authors reviewed 106 eyes having a planned phaco-DS; 10 of them (9.4%) had to be converted into phaco-trabeculectomy because of a large perforation ...

A New Implant for Deep Sclerectomy: Esnoper®

Newer non-reabsorbing implants have been developed to maintain the hypotensor effect of nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. In this article the authors discuss a new non-reabsorbing implant with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Esnoper®, AJL Ophthalmics, SA, Miñano, Alava, Spain), its design, technique of implantation and the available scientific evidence.
