[Simultaneous pars plana vitrectomy and glaucoma drainage device implant].
PURPOSE To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual acuity (VA) results after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation combined with simultaneous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective review of 8 eyes (7 patients). The diagnosis was neovascular glaucoma (NVG) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy in 4 eyes, in a which a double plate Molteno implant...
متن کاملPars plana vitrectomy with pars plana tube implantation in eyes with intractable glaucoma.
AIMS Intractable glaucoma is glaucoma resistant to medical therapy and conventional surgical procedures. In this study, a planned surgical technique is discussed for controlling the increased intraocular pressure in selected cases with intractable glaucoma. METHODS Total pars plana vitrectomy with pars plana tube implantation was performed in 17 eyes of 17 cases with intractable glaucoma. Pat...
متن کاملRepositioning of glaucoma tubes into the pars plana for refractory malignant glaucoma: a case report
INTRODUCTION Malignant glaucoma occurs when the intraocular pressure elevates in the setting of a shallow anterior chamber and patent iridectomy. We describe a case in which malignant glaucoma that was refractory to conventional treatment and complete vitrectomy was successfully managed by rerouting the glaucoma tubes into the pars plana. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old Latino man had a histo...
متن کاملPars Plana Ahmed Implantation Combined with 23-gauge Vitrectomy for Refractory Neovascular Glaucoma in Diabetic Retinopathy
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a pars plana Ahmed valve implantation combined with 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy in the treatment of patients with medically uncontrolled neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 11 consecutive patients with refractory NVG in PDR who underwent a 23-gauge ...
متن کاملSurgical Technique: Pars Plana Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation
The pars plana model of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) is inserted into the vitreous cavity through a sclerostomy, and has a specially designed clip anchors that it in place and avoids tube kinking. The tube deliver aqueous from within the eye to the episcleral plate covered by Tenon’s capsule and conjunctiva, which stimulates fibrovascular encapsulation around the plate. This article elucidate...
