Bindehautersatz am Limbus nach Abtragen exzessiver Sickerkissen - Neues Verfahren

Zusammenfassung

Ein neues operatives Verfahren ermöglicht das Entfernen exzessiv großer, dünnwandiger Sickerkissen und die Deckung des so entstandenen Bindehautdefektes durch vitale Bindehaut der oberen Bulbushälfte.

Summary

After total excision of an excessively large filtering bleb extending to the cornea, the conjunctiva was dissected from the upper half of the eyeball and fixed by sutures into a step of the corneal periphery obtained by a keratectomy of 1 mm large strip of superficial corneal tissue along the upper half of the limbus. In 10 eyes operated on in this way - and in seven of them over four years - the newly developed filtrating bleb is flat and shows a well vascularised wall without any signs of degeneration.
