The insertion of an artificial draining implant consisting of a silicone tube, opening onto the upper surface of a circular episcleral plate, will provide long-term drainage in cases of neovascular glaucoma. A simple modification of the episcleral plate, the addition of a subsidiary pressure ridge, allows the episcleral tissues to function as a temporary pressure-sensitive valve which limits the escape of aqueous in the early postoperative period. The surgical technique used with this modified implant is described, together with the results in the first 24 eyes in which it has been used.
植入一种由硅胶管组成的人工引流植入物，该硅胶管开口于圆形巩膜上板的上表面，可在新生血管性青光眼病例中提供长期引流。对巩膜上板进行简单改良，增加一个辅助压力嵴，可使巩膜组织起到临时压力敏感瓣膜的作用，在术后早期限制房水流出。本文描述了使用这种改良植入物的手术技术，以及使用该技术的前24只眼睛的治疗结果。
