Novel use of fibrin sealant for scleral suture free placement of a glaucoma drainage device in advanced scleral thinning
Purpose This reports a case using fibrin glue to secure a glaucoma drainage device plate to the sclera where there is a concern with the use of suture. Observations A 13-year-old patient with congenital aniridia and associated glaucoma refractory to topical medications underwent implantation of a glaucoma drainage device (GDD) for improved intraocular pressure (IOP) control. The patient had s...

متن کاملNew adjustable suture technique for trabeculectomy.
PURPOSE To describe an adjustable suture (AS) experimental model that allows for tightening, loosening and retightening of the suture tension in trabeculectomy. METHODS Standard trabeculectomy was performed in fifteen pig eyeballs. All pig eyes were tested twice: one test with conventional suture in both flap's corners (conventional suture group) and another test with a conventional suture at...
