11. Surgical-based approach for
glaucoma management
1) Laser surgery
- Trabeculoplasty
- Laser Peripheral iridotomy
- Cycloablation
2) Traditional surgery
- Trabeculectomy
- Non penetrating surgery
- Drainage implant surgery
- Valves
3) MIGS
14. B. Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI)
Create a notch in iris
Enable AH to spill out into
eye’s anterior chamber
Leading AH to sidestep its ordinary passage
Widely used in angle closure glaucoma
Two methods
↓ AH by crushing piece of the ciliary body
Used in open angle glaucoma
C. Cycloablation
Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation
↓
laser through external sclera of eye
↓
reach and devastate parts of the ciliary body
Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation
↓
instrument is put inside the eye
↓
laser is directed straightforwardly to the
ciliary body tissue
16. A. Trabeculectomy (Filtration surgery)
Conjunctiva pocket created
↓
Treated with antimetabolite(MMC/5FU)
↓
Sclera dissected into flap
↓
Block of scleral tissue(TM & SC) removed to make a
hole into anterior chamber
↓
Scleral flap sutured back loosely
↓
Cornea sewed back
Why antimetabolite?
To prevent scarring of operation
site
↓
Scarring if occurs, clog new
drainage canal
↓
Major reason for surgical failure
17. B. Non penetrating surgery
Advantages:
does not enter the anterior
chamber of eye
limiting postoperative
complexities
↓ hazard for contamination.
Main objective:
↓outflow resistance located in
inner wall of Schlemm's canal and
juxtacanalicular trabecular
meshwork.
↓IOP
1) Ab Externo trabeculectomy
Conjunctiva pocket created
↓
Treated with
antimetabolite(MMC/5FU)
↓
Sclera dissected into flap
↓
Schlemm’s canal is unroofed
↓
Remove inner wall of Schlemm’s
canal
↓
Scleral flap sutured back loosely
↓
Cornea sewed back
18. 2) Deep Sclerectomy
Conjunctiva pocket created
↓
Sclera dissected into flap,
Dissection extended to cornea
↓
Dissect deep scleral flap (95% of remaining thickness of sclera)
↓
Schlemm’s canal is unroofed
↓
Descemet’s membrane dissected
↓
Deep scleral flap is cut anteriorly
↓
Endothelium of floor of SC and JCT are peeled off
↓
To avoid secondary collapse of superficial flap over Trabeculo-
Descemet’s membrane & very thin scleral bed
↓
Implant placed in scleral bed
↓
Cornea sutured back
Continued..
19. 3) Viscocanalostomy
Conjunctiva pocket created
↓
Sclera dissected into flap,
Dissection extended to cornea
↓
Dissect deep scleral flap (95% of remaining thickness of sclera)
↓
Schlemm’s canal is unroofed
↓
Descemet’s membrane dissected
↓
A finely polished cannula introduced into SC
↓
A high viscosity viscoelastic (Healon GV) injected on each side
↓
This ↑ diameter of SC and ↑ outflow
↓
This creates window in Descemet’s membrane so AH diffuses
from anterior chamber to subscleral lake bypassing inner wall of
SC
↓
Cornea sutured back
Continued..
20. 4) Canaloplasty
Conjunctiva pocket created
↓
Sclera dissected into flap,
Dissection extended to cornea
↓
Dissect deep scleral flap (95% of remaining thickness of sclera)
SC opened
↓
Deep scleral flap is removed, two ostia of canal are dilated with viscoelastic
↓
Microcatheter inserted and guided within SC for entire 360 degrees until it emerges
at the other end of the canal opening
↓
Stent suture tied to the catheter’s distal tip & microcatheter is reversed back
through SC in opposite direction
↓
Inward distension of TM is achieved by knotting the suture under tension
↓
Scleral flap sutured back loosely
↓
Cornea sewed back
21. Tube shunts are made of silicone or
polypropylene, both of which will not
decompose in the body
↓
Tube is placed in the patient’s anterior
chamber
↓
Tube is connected to a large plate, which
forms drainage reservoir
↓
Plate is anchored usually behind the
superior and lateral recti onto sclera to
reduce displacement.
C. Drainage implant surgery (Tube
shunt)
D. Ahmed glaucoma Valve
Consist of very small plate with valve
↓
Attached to plate is a tube that drains out
of eye
Scleral flap dissected
↓
Place AGV such that plate reaches to
anterior chamber of eye
↓
↓IOP

Trabecular devices
Improving trabecular
outflow through the SC
Subconjunctival devices
Trabectome®
-iStent®
-Hydrus®
-Gonioscopy-assisted
transluminal
trabeculotomy
-SOLX Gold Micro Shunt®
-CyPass®
Suprachoroidal devices
Alternative outflow
pathway of AH to the
subconjunctival space
Create a controlled
cyclodialysis and improve
uveoscleral outflow
-Xen® gel stent
-PreserFlo®
23. Conclusion
Antiglaucoma drugs are prescribed to the patients who does not wanted to undergo surgery.
Among all types of Laser Trabeculoplasty, Micropulse diode laser trabeculoplasty is most preferred due to
minimal thermal damage to the ciliary body tissue and its adjacent tissues.
The most widely performed surgery to reduce IOP worldwide is Trabeculectomy known as the gold standard of
glaucoma surgery or those with advanced open-angle glaucoma. It's a more invasive surgery than MIGS or laser
procedures and has a higher complication rate, but it typically does a very good job of lowering eye pressure.
MIGS offers alternative surgical treatment options for mild glaucoma that pose fewer risks than traditional
glaucoma surgeries.
Viscocanalostomy and deep sclerectomy with external trabeculectomy have become the most popular
nonpenetrating filtering procedures.
