Partielle externe Trabekulektomie

Abstract

The authors show that with the Excimer laser partial trabeculectomy can be performed, a procedure in which the juxtacanalicular meshwork is removed while the other layers remain untouched. It was proved in experiments on ten enucleated human eyes that at most 3% of the outflow resistance is localized in the uveal and sclerocorneal meshwork. The clinical applicability of partial trabeculectomy was demonstrated on five eyes.

Confocal microscopy evaluation of stromal ablation depth after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy

“…13 Bowman's layer ablates slower than stroma. In ments are reduced a mean 15% to 20% from the recommended algorithm to obtain the desired refractive a human donor eye model, Seiler and coauthors 14 demonstrate that the ablation rate in Bowman's layer is 30% outcome. Furthermore, the observation in LASIK that the difference between the measured and predicted slower than the ablation rate in stroma.…”

Laser microsclerostomy for primary open angle glaucoma: A review of laser mechanisms and delivery systems

“…The excimer laser at 193 nm has recently been applied by Seiler et al [41][42][43] to an ingenious new form of glaucoma surgery in which a 2 mm by 0.8 mm block of sclera is ablated away ab externo. Aiming directly at the trabecular meshwork, ablation continues until egress of aqueous automatically halts progress as soon as the canal of Schlemm is entered.…”
