Results of Trabectome Surgery Following Failed Glaucoma Tube Shunt Implantation
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Trabectome after failed tube shunt surgery.Twenty patients with prior failed tube shunt surgery who underwent Trabectome alone were included. All patients had at least 3 months of follow-up. Outcomes measured included intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medications, and secondary glaucoma surgeries. The success for Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is define...
متن کاملSpontaneous disconnection of glaucoma tube shunt extenders.
Glaucoma drainage implants are frequently used in children with severe forms of glaucoma, and tube extenders are sometimes required to compensate for ocular growth or when the intraocular portion of the tube is thought to be too short. We report 2 cases of spontaneous disconnection of a tube extender, occurring 8 months after insertion in one case and 3 years later in the other. In both cases t...
متن کاملUpdate on Tube-Shunt Procedures for Glaucoma
Present-day glaucoma implants, i.e., long-tube implants, were introduced by Molteno et al. in 1976 [31]. !e most commonly used implants include Molteno and Ahmed singleand doubleplate implants, and the Baerveldt and Krupin implants. All implants are long-tube implants based on the original Molteno design. !e Ahmed and Krupin implants are valved implants. !e most recent addition to tube-shunt de...
متن کاملEndoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) in the management of uncontrolled glaucoma with prior aqueous tube shunt.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) in the treatment of uncontrolled glaucoma with a prior aqueous tube shunt. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized, interventional clinical trial with up to 2 years of follow up included 25 eyes of 25 consecutive glaucoma patients with a previous tube shunt and uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) despite me...
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...
