The purpose of our systematic review is to document the adverse events that follow phacoemulsification in eyes with trabeculectomy due to glaucoma and to determine whether phacoemulsification jeopardizes the survival of the trabeculectomy. Our research was based on English- and non-English-language articles obtained using the Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Additional stud...

Purpose. To compare the outcomes of trabeculectomy with and without Healaflow (Anteis S.A, Geneva, Switzerland), a high molecular weight viscoelastic gel, in patients requiring glaucoma surgery. Methods. This was a retrospective, comparative, interventional case-control study. Forty patients formed two matched study groups and were analyzed (trabeculectomy alone (control) versus trabeculectomy ...

Purpose. We describe a modified trabeculectomy technique in which the iris is used to prevent fibrosis of the scleral flap. Material and Methods. A retrospective case series of patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy. Instead of performing a classical iridectomy, the iris was used as spacer underneath the scleral flap. Postoperative management was ident...

AIM To evaluate outcomes of ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with the trabectome following failed trabeculectomy. METHODS Prospective study of AITs and phaco-AITs after a failed trabeculectomy. The indication for AIT was intraocular pressure (IOP) above target on maximally tolerated therapy, and for phaco-AIT a visually significant cataract and need to lower IOP or glaucoma medications. Outcom...

INTRODUCTION Manual small-incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy is now an acceptable option in the surgical management of combined cataract and glaucoma uncontrolled with maximum tolerated medical therapy. OBJECTIVE To compare the results and complications of combined manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation with trabecu...

purpose : to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subconjunctival oculusgen implantation when used during trabeculectomy methods : in this prospective, nonrandomized, interventional case series, 10 eyes of 10 patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma were enrolled. conventional fornix based trabeculectomy with implantation of subconjunctival biodegradable collagen implant (oculusg...

abstract glaucoma management in pregnant patients is a real challenge, especially when the glaucoma is not controlled with medications. we report the results of 6 incisional glaucoma surgeries for the management of medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients during pregnancy. this retrospective, case series was conducted on the 6 eyes of 3pregnant patients with uncontrolled glaucoma using maximum ...

Purpose: Trabeculectomy for Neovascular Glaucoma (NVG) is regarded as a challenging treatment with relatively poor success. Regression of anterior segment neovascularization preoperatively with intravitreal Bevacizumab (IVB) has lower likelihood of postoperative complications and failure of Trabeculectomy. We investigated the effectiveness of IVB on outcome of augmented Trabeculectomy in treatm...

The results of trabeculectomy and sclerectomy procedures for open-angle glaucoma in African Negroes are compared. Trabeculectomy produced fewer long-term complications, but otherwise there was little difference in their results. Excision of Tenon's capsule and the use of local corticosteroids postoperatively are probably significant in preventing failure of aqueous drainage from subconjunctival...
