    Abstract:
    A new intervention for neovascular glaucoma is suggested: submuscular decompression multisclerectomy with collagen implant impregnated with 5-fluorouracyl. Immediate and remote (up to 2.5 years) results in 29 patients were analyzed. Intraoperative complications were observed in 24.1% cases: vitreous prolapse in 13.8% and hyphema in 10.3%. Ophthalmic tone compensation was attained in 96% cases in the early postoperative period and in 63% in remote period. Painful syndrome was arrested in 96 and 65% cases, respectively. The hypotensive effect of the operation is due to an increase in the volume of the eyeball and enhancement of uveoscleral discharge.
