FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology.
SUBSTANCE: invention is applied for treatment of early hypertension caused by thin trabecular Descemet's membrane (TDM) prominence to operation zone following non-penetrating filter antiglaucomatous operations. Conjunctiva is dissected for 1 mm within inferior-internal and inferior-external sclera graft (SG) angle bordering zone. Distal end of SG is raised with spatula. Syringe-installed cannula is inserted under graft and placed within SG plane, perpendicularly to its distal end and base, along SG center line. To avoid TDM traumatisation cannula is forwarded to SG base no more than 1/2 of its length. As cannula is forwarded, viscoelastic is inserted under SG. Under the influence of viscoelastic, TDM is separated from SG even in case of fresh adhesions. Procedure is completed, cannula is removed while viscoelastic is kept is ISC. Method provides reduction of early postoperative hypertension caused by intrasclera cavity blockage after non-penetrating filter antiglaucomatous operations and ISC recovery.
EFFECT: provided stable normalised ophthalmotonus within early postoperative period; prevention of indirectly developed tissue adhesion in operation zone and prolonged hypertensive effect of operation.
