Management of Ocular Hypotony after Tube Surgery Using Bent Intraluminal Stents.
Journal of Glaucoma 2020 May 2
PURPOSE: We aim to report a surgical technique for the management of ocular hypotony after tube surgery.
METHODS: We occluded the tube with ab interno insertion of two bent 5-0 polypropylene threads into the tube lumen. Bent stents were used to prevent stent displacement.
RESULTS: Our case series revealed that this procedure effectively resolved hypotony. Among the three cases, the stents were removed in one case and left in place in two cases. In all cases, the stent location remained stable without displacement.
CONCLUSION: The insertion of bent intraluminal stents into the tube may be a useful method for the management of ocular hypotony after tube surgery.
