This study introduces a modified Cairns trabeculectomy with a smaller surgical area. The new technique offers advantages over standard glaucoma surgery approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery

Background:

  • Trabeculectomy is a common surgical procedure for glaucoma.
  • The standard Cairns trabeculectomy involves specific surgical steps and dimensions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel modification of the Cairns trabeculectomy procedure.
  • To present a refined surgical technique for glaucoma management.

Main Methods:

  • A modified technique using a small, 3-mm, fornix-based conjunctival flap.
  • Involves a circumferential scleral incision 1 mm from the corneoscleral limbus.
  • Features a sclerocorneal tunnel without radial scleral incisions.

Main Results:

  • The modified procedure allows for increased operations via the superior limbus.

  • Avoids the need for inferior trabeculectomy or aqueous shunt implantation.
  • Demonstrates clinical and technical advantages over conventional methods.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Cairns trabeculectomy utilizes a reduced surgical area.
    • The simplified manipulations offer potential advantages compared to the standard approach.
    • This technique may enhance glaucoma surgical outcomes.
