MICROINVASIVE SURGICAL METHOD FOR TREATING OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMA Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves forming superficial scleral flap of 2x3 mm separated to transparent cornea layers with 1-2 mm large widening in its stroma. Then, trapezoid scleral flap is formed with deep sclera layers being retained on ciliary body is removed. Sclera is completely excised on the flap top to the ciliary body surface. External wall of the Schlemm's canal and Corneoscleral tissue are removed to Descemet's membrane depth. The drain is impregnated with cytokine complex over formed bed immersing distal end into sclera coloboma zone between ciliary body and sclera. Proximal drain tube end is left in intrascleral area between superficial scleral flap, and deep sclera layers in Schlemm's canal projection, and Descemet's membrane. The superficial scleral flap is placed on its place and fixed on sclera with two interrupted sutures. One interrupted suture is placed on conjunctiva.

EFFECT: improved microcirculation process stabilization; prevented excessive intraocular fluid filtration; improved vision function.
