Comparative study of phacoemulsification–subscleral trabeculectomy versus phacoemulsification–deep sclerectomy

Trabeculectomy - Guided Deep Sclerectomy . a Novel Technique

A modified deep sclerectomy with or without external trabeculectomy: a comparative study

PURPOSE To determine whether the removal of the inner wall of Schlemm's canal (external trabeculectomy) improves the effectiveness of a modified method of deep sclerectomy (DS), which we will call "reversed" deep sclerectomy (RDS). MATERIALS AND METHOD We conducted a prospective study of two groups of patients. Group A included 22 eyes of 18 patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) under maxim...

Comparative study of trabeculectomy using single sutures versus releasable sutures

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of trabeculectomy using single sutures or releasable sutures. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of 61 patients who had undergone trabeculectomy using single sutures (n = 33, 54.1%) or releasable sutures (n = 28, 45.9%). The scleral flap was secured with a mean 3.9 (range 3-5) single sutures in 33 pati...

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 ...

Comparative safety profile between "modern" trabeculectomy and non-penetrationg deep sclerectomy.

PURPOSE To compare the incidence and the severity of short-and medium-term complications following "modern" trabeculectomy (mTRAB) with non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Comparative retrospective nonrandomized study including 65 eyes (55 patients) (mean age: 68.6 years) with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. mTRAB was performed in 43 eyes, NPDS in 22 eyes. mTRAB wa...
