Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Bleb Needling
Two patients with history of trabeculectomy presented with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively. The first patient had a flat and vasularized bleb 10 weeks after the surgery, and the second subject developed encapsulated bleb 3 months postoperatively. Both patients were taken to the operating room and intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided bleb needling was ...
متن کامل5.1. Intraoperative use and needling bleb revision with mitomycin C Intraoperative use and needling bleb revision with mitomycin C
MMC when applied topically or injected subconjunctivally, prevents proliferation of fibroblasts within the subconjunctival space and tenon’s capsule. It also has a lethal effect on vascular endothelial cells. A single application of MMC can cause localized, irreversible inhibition of both fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. MMC is estimated to be 100 times more potent than 5-FU in fibro...
متن کاملLate-onset bleb leakage.
CASE REPORT A 75-year-old man presents for routine follow-up examination 6 years after uncomplicated primary trabeculectomy with a 2minute intraoperative application of mitomycin C (MMC, 0.4mm/ mL). Although progression had occurred when the intraocular pressure (IOP) was in the mid teens, the visual fields have remained stable since filtration surgery was performed. The IOP is 8mm Hg and a lar...
متن کاملBleb needling with subconjunctival ologen insertion using IOL cartridge
We describe a novel technique to bleb needling by injecting subconjunctival ologen through an intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system to modulate wound healing in a failing filter. Bleb needling with 26G needle was performed, followed by subconjunctival injection of a biodegradable collagen implant using an IOL delivery system with cartridge in two eyes with a failing filter and high intraocular...
متن کاملGood functional recovery following intervention for delayed suprachoroidal haemorrhage post bleb needling: a case report
INTRODUCTION Bleb needling is a recognised procedure in the management of patients with failing trabeculectomies. Suprachoroidal haemorrhage can occur as an unusual complication. We report a pseudophakic man who had early surgical intervention for this complication. This intervention may have contributed to the good recovery of his visual acuity and the minimum changes to his visual fields. C...
