...Thomas Klink; Stefanie Praetorius; Swetlana Leippi; Janine Klink; Franz J. Grehn Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare diurnal and nocturnal intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations before and after trabeculectomy, and to evaluate the potential of trabeculectomy to even out IOP peaks...

...Thomas Klink; Gunda Kann; Patrick Ellinger; Janine Klink; Franz Grehn; Rainer Guthoff Background: The Wuerzburg bleb classification score (WBCS) aims at an objective and standardized assessment of the developing filtering bleb after trabeculectomy, in order to detect and treat bleb scarring...

...Holger Mietz; Peter Seifert; Günter K. Krieglstein Purpose: To describe a ciliary body tumor that was detected in a rabbit eye. Methods: For a specific experiment, the rabbit underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin. The eye was evaluated by electron microscopy 5 weeks following surgery. Results...

...Ryo Suzuki The trabeculectomy procedure was modified with the introduction of the Kelly Descemet membrane punch. Using this punch, a few limbal tissue sections (0.25 ×0.30 mm) were easily excised from beneath the scleral flap base. Mitomycin C (MMC) was used. Among the 100 most recent operations...

...Tugrul Altan; Ahmet Temel; Tayfun Bavbek; Haluk Kazokoglu We evaluated two patients who developed hypotonic maculopathy following trabeculectomy and adjunctive 5-fluorouracil injections. Both patients had ocular hypotony and decreased visual acuity following these injections. The first case showed...

...M. Erol Turaçlı; Gülderen Aktan; M. Serhatlı Seventy-three eyes of 65 patients with various types of glaucoma have been evaluated before and after trabeculectomy. These cases have been examined gonioscopically preoperatively and in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months. The status of the trabeculectomy...

...Kenneth Goins; Thomas Smith; Robert Kinker; John Lewis Trabeculectomy was performed on 14 consecutive phakic eyes, and measurements of axial anterior chamber depth were taken preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 6 and 14. The mean maximal change in anterior chamber depth occurred...

The different theories regarding the mechanisms of action of ALT are discussed. 27 10 1989 31 10 1989...

...Michael H. Kottow A variation to standard trabeculectomy is described, whereby the trabecular tissue flap is not completely excised, but dissected free, hinged at its nasal end and sutured diagonally across the scleral bed, to act as a wedge between the scleral flap and its bed, in an attempt...

Deep sclerectomy plus mitomycin C (MMC) was also less effective than trabeculectomy plus MMC, with pooled RD of complete...
