New Glaucoma surgery improving Anterior Aqueous Drainage
Introduction Anti-glaucoma medicines, laser surgery and incisional surgery all seek to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP). Incisional surgery is indicated when medical treatment and/or laser surgery have failed, are likely to fail or are not available or practical. The most standard surgical procedure is trabeculectomy (or some variation thereof e.g. ExPRESS shunt): aqueous is shunted from th...
متن کاملA Novel Mediastinal Drainage Tube for Mediastinitis
Mediastinitis is a life-threatening disease, and effective drainage is needed to treat mediastinitis with abscess formation. We recommend an alternative drainage method using chest tube binding with a Silastic Penrose drainage tube. The use of a Silastic Penrose drainage tube may help to manage mediastinitis with abscess formation. This method facilitates effective draining and prevents tissue ...
متن کاملCombined Baerveldt glaucoma drainage implant surgery and surgical bleb revision for preventing a postoperative hypertensive phase
BACKGROUND In patients with severe optic nerve damage, it is crucial to prevent the hypertensive phase that can develop after Baerveldt glaucoma drainage implant (BGI) surgery. We describe the combination of BGI surgery with surgical bleb revision to prevent the postoperative hypertensive phase. CASE REPORTS We report two patients who underwent BGI surgery combined with surgical bleb revision...
متن کاملManaging a chest tube and drainage system.
Intercostal drainage tubes (ie, chest tubes) are inserted to drain the pleural cavity of air, blood, pus, or lymph. The water-seal container connected to the chest tube allows one-way movement of air and liquid from the pleural cavity. The container should not be changed unless it is full, and the chest tube should not be clamped unnecessarily. After a chest tube is inserted, a nurse trained in...
متن کاملTrabeculectomy with internal tube shunt: a novel glaucoma surgery.
PURPOSE To describe a pilot study that evaluates the efficacy and mechanism of action of a new glaucoma operation, trabeculectomy with internal tube shunt. METHODS Twenty-three patients underwent the new operation in one eye for open angle glaucoma. Under a scleral flap, a deep sclerectomy was performed, resulting in an intrascleral lake. Laterally, on both sides, a small silicone tube was pl...
