Fig. 38. A and B. Deep sclerectomy with viscocanalostomy: closure of scleral and conjunctival flaps. Both the superficial and scleral flaps are closed in a watertight fashion. In addition, viscoelastic is reinserted underneath the scleral flap after its closure to prevent fibrosis in this potential space. Avoid overfill which could lead to a Descemet's detachment. A tight closure of the conjunctiva is encouraged in case suture lysis is necessary along with goniopuncture to encourage subconjunctival flow if collector system outflow is minimal. |
