Aberrant wound-healing response in mitomycin C-treated leaking blebs: a histopathologic study.
OBJECTIVE To characterize histopathologic features of leaking mitomycin C-treated blebs and aberrant wound healing that may lead to persistent conjunctival thinning and leakage. METHODS Forty mitomycin C-treated filtering blebs excised for persistent leaks from 40 patients were examined histopathologically using hematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, Masson trichrome, and Alcian blue histoc...
متن کاملClosure of leaking filtering blebs with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.
Five leaking filtering blebs, occurring between 10 months and 21 years after trabeculectomy, were closed with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. Filtering bleb integrity was preserved in four cases, so that additional microsurgery was avoided. The only problem associated with use of tissue adhesive was the development of corneal abrasions in three cases. Although it is an accepted treatment for the...
متن کاملSurgical Repair of Leaking Filtering Blebs Using Two Different Techniques
PURPOSE To report the outcomes of two different surgical techniques for the repair of late onset bleb leakage following trabeculectomy. METHODS This retrospective study includes 21 eyes of 20 patients with prior trabeculectomy and late-onset bleb leaks; 14 eyes underwent excision of the filtering bleb together with conjunctival advancement while in the other 7 eyes the bleb was retained but d...
متن کامل[Mitomycin C versus 5-FU in failing blebs needling].
Please allow me to express my congratulations to the team led by Dr. Esperanza Gutiérrez for the results obtained in the recently published article titled «Repermeabilization through revision with filtration bleb needling with late failure after glaucoma surgery» (1). Although the results are obtained from a retrospective study, with the limitations this may entail, they achieve a high success ...
متن کاملneedle revision with mitomycin-c in encapsulated blebs
the most common cause of failure during the first trimester after trabeculectomy is encapsulated bleb and needling bleb revision is a less invasive method in the management of refractory cases. the purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of mitomycin-c (mmc) augmented bleb revision of failed filtration surgery. this study is a before-after (paired) observation. 33 patients...
