[A method of closing fistulae from drainage blebs to the out-side after glaucoma operations (author's transl)].
A method for closing fistulae in drainage blebs after anti-glaucoma surgical procedures is described. Its aim is to line internally and support the wall of the bleb, including the fistula, with subconjunctival tissue. The decisive factor in achieving this is the firm anchoring of the subconjunctival tissue pulled down between the corneo-scleral opening and the thin conjunctival tissue layer.
