Sutureless revision of overhanging filtering blebs.
We describe methods and outcomes of a technique for sutureless surgical revision of symptomatic corneal overhanging filtering blebs after trabeculectomy using mitomycin in 6 eyes in 6 patients. Separation of the bleb from the corneal surface was achieved by blunt or sharp dissection, as necessary, and the overhanging portion of the bleb was excised and a bandage contact lens was inserted. Outco...
متن کامل[Needle revision of late failing filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery].
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of bleb needling in eyes subjected to filtering surgery six months or more previously. METHODS A retrospective study of 23 eyes in 21 patients subjected to bleb needling performed by means of a 25G needle, 6 months to 23 years after failed filtering surgery (mean 67.3 months). The mean number of bleb needlings was 1.2 and the mean number of 5-fluorouracil subco...
متن کاملNeedling revision with subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering blebs.
BACKGROUND 5-Fluorouracil, an antimetabolic agent, improves the success rate of trabeculectomies by inhibiting subconjunctival fibrosis. However, complications may be associated with early postoperative use. We investigated the outcome of needling revision with delayed subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering blebs after a trabeculectomy in patients with medically poorly controlled g...
متن کاملFunctional proteomics of failed filtering blebs
PURPOSE To identify and determine the function of the proteins associated with failed filtering blebs following trabeculectomy. METHODS Tenon's tissues, obtained during surgery for failed filtering blebs or obtained during cataract surgery on normal eyes, were analyzed by proteomics. The proteins showing significant differences between the two tissues were selected for identification by mass ...
متن کاملRevision of trabeculectomy filtering blebs with mitomycin C: Long term results
AIM The aim of the study is to assess the outcomes of transconjunctival mitomycin C (MMC)-augmented revision in eyes with failed trabeculectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective, noncomparative case series. One hundred and twenty-one eyes of 113 consecutive glaucoma patients with previously failed trabeculectomy who underwent transconjunctival revision with at least 12 months of ...
