Surgery of the Filtering Bleb

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1962
Documentation for techniques of surgical manipulation of a filtering bleb is meager in ophthalmological literature. Of particular interest in this matter is: (1) the management of loss of the filtering bleb after external filtering surgery for glaucoma, (2) management of external fistulization of a filtering bleb, (3) treatment of extension of a ...

Nonpenetrating filtering surgery in glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
Since 1967, trabeculectomy has been the standard drainage operation for most cases of medically uncontrolled glaucoma. It is associated with significant risk of hypotony, hyphema, choroidal effusion or hemorrhage, and bleb failure. Toward the goal of a safer and more reproducible glaucoma filtering surgery, nonperforating filtering surgeries are now ...

Valve Implants in Filtering Surgery

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1976
A valve implant for glaucoma incorporated upper and lower intraocular pressure limits for outflow. The device consisted of an open Supramid tube sealed to a Silastic tube with a slit valve. The valve implants had opening pressures of 11 to 16 mm Hg and closing pressures 1 to 3 mm Hg lower.

Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage After Glaucoma Filtering Surgery

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987
We reviewed a series of 305 consecutive glaucoma filtering procedures performed by one surgeon. Five eyes (1.6%) had a postoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage. All five eyes were aphakic, and four had undergone a partial or complete vitrectomy before the glaucoma surgery.

Conjunctival fibrosis following filtering glaucoma surgery

Experimental Eye Research, 2016
Despite advances in surgical technique and postoperative care, fibrosis remains the major impediment to a marked reduction of intraocular pressure without the need of additional medication (complete success) following filtering glaucoma surgery. Several aspects specific to filtering surgery may contribute to enhanced fibrosis.

Endophthalmitis After Filtering Surgery With Mitomycin

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1996
To identify the incidence, causative organisms, and clinical outcomes of eyes with bleb-associated endophthalmitis after glaucoma filtering procedures with adjunctive mitomycin.Retrospective analysis of 773 consecutive eyes that underwent glaucoma filtering surgery at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Fla. The course of 609 eyes from 485 patients

New Lid Speculum for Glaucoma Filtering Surgery

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1994
ABSTRACT Successful bleb formation in glaucoma filtering surgery depends on adequate intraoperative visualization and atraumatic handling and preservation of normal conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule in order to avoid unnecessary stimulation and fibrous tissue formation. With these requirements in mind, we designed a new lid speculum that offers

Utility of insufflation filters in laparoscopic surgery

Surgical Endoscopy, 1998
To determine whether filters, regularly used as part of the insufflator tubing during laparoscopic surgery, trap microbial and particulate matter from CO2 tanks, thus preventing passage from one patient to another.A total of 67 used filters were collected from 17 CO2 tanks and six insufflation machines at three local hospitals, and sterile unused ...

Aqueous Humor Changes After Experimental Filtering Surgery

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1980
We studied aqueous humor of rhesus and owl monkeys for its effect on the growth of subconjunctival fibroblasts in tissue culture. Aqueous humor samples obtained before glaucoma surgery inhibited the initiation of growth of fibroblasts. However, postoperative aqueous humor samples supported growth of fibroblasts.

Serous Retinal Detachment Following Glaucoma Filtering Surgery

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1990
We report the occurrence of serous retinal detachment in association with choroidal effusion and hypotony in six eyes that had undergone glaucoma filtering surgery. Hypotony with choroidal effusion was documented in five patients before the onset of serous retinal detachment.
