Use of Gamma-Irradiated Cornea to Plug Sclerostomy Site During Tube Shunt Revision.

Sonya B Shah1,2, Michael J Pro2, Marlene R Moster2.   

Abstract

Tube shunt implantation is a common procedure for control of intraocular pressure (IOP). However, tube revision and repositioning must sometimes be performed, and this involves removing the tube from its sclerostomy site. This site is prone to leaking and this may cause postoperative hypotony. We describe a novel and cosmetically acceptable technique of plugging and covering the sclerostomy site with gamma-irradiated corneal tissue.
