Incision-free minimally invasive conjunctival surgery (MICS) for late-onset bleb leaks after trabeculectomy (An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis)

American Journal of Ophthalmology Dec 06, 2019

Gupta N - Researcher conducted the study for analyzing the incision-free minimally invasive conjunctival surgical (MICS) technique to repair late-onset leaking blebs after trabeculectomy. A surgical technique is described to repair leaking blebs without incision or excision of the conjunctiva. This is followed by a retrospective review of all patients treated for bleb leaks repaired with MICS from 2012 to 2017 at the Glaucoma Unit at St. Michael's Hospital. The MICS approach has been applied to 14 eyes of 13 consecutive individuals with a leaking bleb. Data reported that the onset of bleb leak after trabeculectomy ranged from 7 months to 16.3 years. For treating late-onset leaking blebs without cutting or excising conjunctival tissue, the MICS procedure is an effective alternative. This method's minimal requirements make it accessible to low-resource settings in addition.
