Internal trans-pars plana filtering procedure in humans.
Two patients (two eyes) with end-stage, medically uncontrollable glaucoma underwent transvitreal pars plana filtering procedures with a contact Nd:YAG laser with a sapphire probe. Intraocular pressure was being maintained without medication four months after surgery, with persistence of a diffuse filtering bleb.
