[Administration of autologous blood to a patient via intrableb injection as a method for treating hypotony after trabeculectomy].
Hypotony is a common complication of glaucoma filtering surgery. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the treatment of this complication by intrableb injection of autologous blood. This procedure was performed in 9 patients with hypotony after trabeculectomy. Normalization of intraocular pressure was noted in 8 patients. No complications were observed. Intrableb injection of autologous blood can be used as an effective method in the treatment of hypotony following filtration surgery.
