چکیده
|
We describe an innovative technique for performing standardized low cost glaucoma filtration surgery using a polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) intravenous cannula. the trocar of a 24 gauge (24g) ptfe intravenous cannula was used to create a trabeculectomy ostium and its tube was inserted under a partial thickness scleral flap in 2 patients with advanced glaucomatous optic neuropathy,in whom intraocular pressure (iop) was not controlled on maximal tolerable hypotensive therapy. postoperatively,iop of the operated eyes at 3,6 and 9 months' follow-up ranged from 12 to 15 mmhg with a well formed anterior chamber and a diffuse bleb.
