Surgery on the Trabecular Meshwork: Histopathological Evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Juxtacanalicular (JXT) trabecular meshwork and endothelial lining of Schlemm's canal have been cited as the loci of aqueous outflow resistance, both in a normal as well as a glaucomatous eye. In this review, we attempt to understand the currently available surgical modalities in light of the available histopathological evidence, regarding localization of outflow resistance.

Morphological variability of the trabecular meshwork in glaucoma patients: implications for non-perforating glaucoma surgery.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Morphological variability of the trabecular meshwork could be of considerable importance for the proper intraoperative outcome of non-perforating antiglaucomatous surgery, such as deep sclerectomy and viscocanalostomy. The aim of this study was therefore to assess qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the trabecular meshwork in glaucoma patients undergoing trabeculecto...
متن کاملOxidative DNA damage in the human trabecular meshwork: clinical correlation in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intensity of oxidative molecular damage and its clinical correlations: visual field damage, intraocular pressure, age, and disease duration. METHODS DNA was extracted from human trabecular meshwork specimens collected from 17 glaucoma-affected patients using standard filtration surgery. Twenty-one specimens from healthy eyes collected for cornea transplants serve as ...
متن کاملAqueous Humor Levels of Soluble Fas and Fas-ligand in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoex-foliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. In patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. Death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. Objective: To investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas-Ligand (sFasL) in ...
متن کاملIntraoperative optical coherence tomography and ab interno trabecular meshwork surgery with the Trabectome
IMPORTANCE This study is the first description of the use of the intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) for trabecular meshwork surgery with the Trabectome in a regular clinical setting. BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate intraoperatively the immediate success of ab interno trabeculotomy with the Trabectome defined as a removal of the trabecular meshwork. DESIGN Thi...
متن کاملmRNA in situ hybridization of TIGR/MYOC in human trabecular meshwork.
PURPOSE To determine the distribution of mRNA expression of the trabecular meshwork-induced glucocorticoid response protein/myocilin (TIGR/MYOC) in human trabecular meshwork. METHODS In situ hybridization using a 1.25-kb probe obtained from reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of TIGR/MYOC cDNA was performed to determine the location of cell labeling within the different regions of...
