Self-scleral "wrap" technique for covering the glaucoma implant tube.
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Eyes with glaucoma implant surgery.
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000025504
- Lead Sponsor
- Saneikai Tsukazaki Hospital
- Brief Summary
There was no exposure of the scleral covered tube and IOP was also decreased sufficiently. The tube was covered with a uniform self-sclera taken by AS-OCT. This technique can be conveniently performed without using patch graft material. This is a useful method because its'a self-sclera, therefore, is free from worry of melting.
