Bleb Revision using Reversed Scleral Flap and Pedical Conjunctival Graft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bleb revision for hypotony maculopathy following trabeculectomy is an effective technique for raising intraocular pressure and limiting visual loss. The presence for scleral fistula causing over-filtration obviates the need for reinforcing materials, such as donor sclera or pericardium to cover the defect. However, if the surrounding scleral tissue is healthy, a partial thickness scleral flap can be upturned and sutured over the fistula. Moreover, a vascularized pedical conjunctival graft can also be used in cases where there is a large conjunctival defect. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE Sharma S, Patel D, Sharma R, Dada T.
