A split-thickness hinged scleral flap technique was devised to aid in tube exposure after glaucoma drainage device implantation. This technique resulted in the successful recovery of the tube without reexposure or serious complications in all 3 observed cases. Split-thickness hinged scleral flaps may be an effective surgical technique for the management of repeated tube exposure after glaucoma drainage device implantation.
一种带铰链的板层巩膜瓣技术被设计用来帮助在青光眼引流装置植入后暴露引流管。在所有观察到的 3 例病例中,该技术成功地使引流管恢复,无需再次暴露或出现严重并发症。带铰链的板层巩膜瓣可能是处理青光眼引流装置植入后反复引流管暴露的有效手术技术。
