METHOD OF MICROINVASIVE NON-PENETRATING DEEP SCLERECTOMY AT OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMA Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: conjunctival 2 mm long is cut made parallel to limb at 4 mm distance from it. Surface trapezoidal flap is cut out with large 3 mm basis near limb and with smaller 2 mm basis and height 4 mm is cut out from side of eye equator. Deep layers of sclera are excised together with peripheral layers of cornea and external wall of Schlemm's canal with exposure of zone of trabecula and Descemet's membrane. Straps of sclera are removed from lateral sides of surface flap near its basis with length 2 mm and width 0.3 mm. Two 2 mm long cuts are made in direction to limb from side of apex of truncated surface scleral flap, separating truncated surface scleral flap into three equal straps. Medium scleral strap is tucked under remaining part of truncated surface scleral flap in direction to its basis and sutured to it by interrupted suture from internal side, after which laying of truncated surface scleral flap on its place is carried out without application of suture.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to achieve prolonged hypotensive effect.
