filtering surgery การใช้
- Non-penetrating filtering surgeries do not penetrate or enter the eye's anterior chamber.
- Additional deep scleral dissection can also be performed in the scleral bed with trabeculectomy, first introduced by T . Dada et al .; deep scleral excision is performed in non-penetrating filtering surgeries but not traditionally in trabeculectomy.
- The second is in eye surgery where mitomycin C 0.02 % is applied topically to prevent scarring during glaucoma filtering surgery and to prevent haze after PRK or LASIK; mitomycin C has also been shown to reduce fibrosis in strabismus surgery.
- Penetrating filtering surgeries are further subdivided into guarded filtering procedures, also known as protected, subscleral, or partial thickness filtering procedures ( in which the surgeon sutures a scleral flap over the sclerostomy site ), and full thickness procedures . "'Trabeculectomy "'is a guarded filtering procedure that removes of part of the trabecular meshwork.
