[Reconstruction of conjunctiva on the limbus following the excision of an excessively large filtering bleb (author's transl)].
After total excision of an excessively large filtering bleb extending to the cornea, the conjunctiva was dissected from the upper half of the eyeball and fixed by sutures into a step of the corneal periphery obtained by a keratectomy of 1 mm large strip of superficial cornea tissue along the upper half of the limbus. In 10 eyes operated on in this way -- and in seven of them over four years -- the newly developed filtrating bleb is flat and shows a well vascularised wall without any signs of degeneration.
