Nonpenetrating Glaucoma Surgery: Meta-analysis of Recent Results

“…Classic trabeculectomy was introduced concurrently, and the relative ease and high efficacy of classic trabeculectomy also held back the development of NPGS. 3,4 In the early 1980s, Zimmerman et al 5,6 described DS, which he called nonpenetrating trabeculectomy. In the late 1980s, Fedorov et al 7 In NPGS, entry into the anterior chamber is avoided.…”

“…In 1961 Sugar proposed trabeculectomy under a scleral flap (Fig. 3) [73]: a section of the trabecular meshwork and SC was removed with a punch forceps followed by a peripheral iridectomy and tight suturing of the scleral flap. All cases failed.…”

Bleb Needling with Mitomycin C as Adjunctive Therapy in Failing Blebs: A Retrospective Study

“…For this retrospective, population-based study, we enrolled patients affected by open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who underwent a bleb revision as a treatment for failed trabeculectomy [1] between January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2015 at the University Eye Clinic of Genova. Only patients with follow-up visits of more than 6 months were included.…”
