  • Title: [Laser correction of recurrence of increased intraocular pressure after surgical valvular sinuso-trabeculectomy].
    Author: Kurdagli N, Mamedov NG, Novoderezhkin VV.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 1992; 108(3):8-10. PubMed ID: 1481338.
    Abstract:
    Wise's laser trabeculoplasty with a 270 degrees exposure was used in 22 eyes of 22 patients with operated-on decompensated glaucoma. Patients with elevated decompensated intraocular pressure after sinusotrabeculoctomy were included in this group. The postoperative fistula was located in front of the Schlemm's canal in them. A dynamic follow-up has shown a stable normalization of the ophthalmic tone in 62% of cases without maintenance therapy. As a repeated intervention, laser trabeculoplasty is less traumatic, yields a good therapeutic effect, and may be widely used as a method to correct elevated intraocular pressure after earlier sinusotrabeculectomy.
