Morphology of glaucoma drainage implantation

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1997
Implantation of glaucoma drainage devices has become a standard procedure in various forms of intractable glaucoma. Indications include extensive conjunctival scanning at the upper limbal area, neovascular glaucoma (in addition to pars plana vitrectomy and endolasercoagulation), and secondary glaucoma due to uveitis or trauma.

Glaucoma drainage implants in Asian eyes

Ophthalmology, 1998
Previous studies have suggested that there are racial differences in the outcome of conventional filtration surgery. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of glaucoma drainage implants in Asian eyes with complicated glaucoma and to determine whether there are racial differences in the results of such implant surgery compared to previous reports in ...

Outcomes of Sequential Glaucoma Drainage Implants in Refractory Glaucoma

Journal of Glaucoma, 2016
To describe the outcomes of eyes that have undergone a second glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery.A retrospective review of eyes that underwent a second GDI surgery from 2006 to 2013 was conducted. Primary outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and success rates.

Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Glaucoma Drainage Implants

Journal of Glaucoma, 1995
The tube lumen of a glaucoma drainage implant is prone to occlusion by a blood or fibrin clot due to its small caliber, relatively low flow rate, and the plasmoid nature of the aqueous humor passing through it in the early postoperative period. The use of tissue plasminogen activator in the management of drainage tube obstruction is described herein ...

Delayed Sterile Endophthalmitis after Glaucoma Drainage Implantation

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2011
Glaucoma drainage devices are being used with increasing frequency for patients. Sterile endophthalmitis after implantation has been reported. Unlike traditional trabeculectomy surgery, the persistence of an implant may be contributory. As glaucoma specialists consider emerging technologies in implantable glaucoma drainage devices, it is important to ...

Implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2017
To evaluate success rates in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) after implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device (GDD) with a Baerveldt glaucoma implant in patients with refractory glaucoma, with a secondary aim of reducing the need for postoperative glaucoma medications.This retrospective, noncomparative, interventional study included ...

Indications of Glaucoma Drainage Implant

2019
Tube implants have been in vogue for over three decades. Its inception has brought a paradigm shift in the management of secondary glaucomas, where the only option earlier was cyclodestructive procedure. From the time of its innovation, however, it was restricted primarily to patients who were at a high risk of failure from conventional glaucoma ...

[Comparison of glaucoma drainage implants].

Die Ophthalmologie, 2023
Glaucoma drainage devices (tubes, GDI or GDD) are nowadays an important surgical option in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. They are frequently used in cases where previous glaucoma surgery has failed or in patients with a history of conjunctival scarring where other procedures are contraindicated or simply not possible.

Recent Developments in Glaucoma Drainage Implant Surgery

International Ophthalmology Clinics, 1999
Refractory glaucoma remains a challenging problem for the ophthalmologist. Drainage implant surgery is a valuable and effective option for its treatment. Recent developments in implant design and surgical technique have decreased the incidence and severity of postoperative complications while increasing the efficacy of glaucoma drainage implant devices.
