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.
