Surgical method for prevention of scaring in conducting sinustrabeculectomy

Abstract

Prolonged hypotensive effect in the postoperative period is one of the main tasks of modern glaucoma surgery. In connection with this, the aim of our study is to develop a surgical method of prevention of scarring during the classical sinustrabeculectomy. Material and Methods. The operation was performed in 13 patients (13 eyes) with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) ll-lll (B-C) in steps aged 50-70 years. The duration of observation up of 2 year. Results. After 9-12 months of hypotensive efficacy was 100% (13 eyes) in 20-24 months — 98% (12 of 13 eyes). The result was confirmed using standard methods of examination (visometry, tonometry, computerized perimetry, tonography et al.), in the early postoperative period was performed optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment, then — ultrasound biomicroscopy. Conclusions. Developed a new version of the surgical treatment of glaucoma a long-acting hypotensive effect.
