    Summary

    A novel surgical technique uses a scleral pedicle to keep a cyclodialysis cleft open, effectively treating chronic aphakic glaucoma, particularly in African patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Aphakic glaucoma, occurring after cataract surgery, presents unique management challenges.
    • Maintaining cyclodialysis cleft patency is crucial for intraocular pressure control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a surgical method for maintaining cyclodialysis cleft patency.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in treating chronic aphakic glaucoma.

    Main Methods:

    • A trapezoid scleral pedicle is dissected near the limbus.
    • The pedicle is introduced through a sclerotomy and the cyclodialysis cleft into the anterior chamber angle.
    • This procedure aims to prevent cleft closure.

    Main Results:

    • The described method effectively maintains the patency of the cyclodialysis cleft.
    • The technique has shown utility in managing chronic aphakic glaucoma.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical approach offers a viable solution for chronic aphakic glaucoma.
    • The procedure has demonstrated particular usefulness in African patients.
