[Micro-trephination of the limbus in neovascular glaucoma]
Abstract:
Microtrephination of the limb was carried out for neovascular glaucoma on 112 eyes. The technique of the operation is described and its results are analyzed. Electric microtrephine (0.6 mm) allows making perforations in the limb as oblique microchannels connecting the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space. Mitomycin C, an antimetabolic drug, was used for neovascularization control near the channels and filtration pad. High efficiency, low invasiveness, and low incidence of postoperative complications recommend this operation as an alternative method for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.
