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...

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) control, potential benefits, and associated complications in advanced cases of glaucoma (visual acuity of <6/60) after trabeculectomy. Although many studies of trabeculectomy in glaucoma patients have been done, very few in such advanced cases. Methods The study was done on 60 cases of advanced primary open-angle glauc...

PURPOSE Flat anterior chamber (FAC) in association with overfiltration is a complication after trabeculectomy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of injection of an ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) to treat FAC after trabeculectomy in a retrospective consecutive case series study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five consecutive patients who underwent injection of O...

PURPOSE To compare surgical outcomes in neovascular glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C versus Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective comparative case series. We reviewed 40 eyes of 39 patients with underlying diagnosis of neovascular glaucoma, divided into two groups: Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (N = 20) and trabeculectomy with m...

Objective to examine the effect of Bevacizumab injection angiogenesis which amount and density blood vessel as indicators after trabeculectomy procedure. Method This was a true experimental study using 16 eyes New Zealand White Rabbit eye treated by procedure with eight control group Balanced Saline Solution (BSS) treatment Bevacizumab. It injected subconjuctiva trabeculectomy. At end all rabbi...
