METHOD FOR PROLONGING HYPOTENSIVE EFFECT OF ANTIGLAUCOMA OPERATIONS OF FILTERING TYPE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying treatment course during 10-12 days. The treatment course involves alternating conjunctiva blood vessel diathermocoagulation neighboring with conjunctiva flap and Mutamycin C applications. First, partial conjunctiva blood vessel diathermocoagulation is applied to 1/3-1/4 of area having common boundary with filtration space. 1-2 days later, extraocular Mutamycin C application at a dose of 0.2-0.3 mg/ml with exposure time of 2-3 min on hemostatic sponge in mechanically localizing application zone and limbal zone. The actions are repeated in succession in alternating conjunctiva blood vessel diathermocoagulation in the rest part of conjunctiva having common boundary with filtration space and Mutamycin C applications.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; reduced risk of conjunctiva-to-sclera adhesion.
