| Summary: |
Purpose: Evaluation
on the cellular level the filtering bleb following
trabeculectomy, using the HRT II Cornea Module.
Material and methods: Confocal microscopy was
performed in 47 eyes following trabeculectomy to state
typical images for functioning blebs with no MMC
application, with MMC application and non-functioning
blebs. In gathered images we assessed appearance, size
and number of intraepithelial microcysts, encapsulation,
density of subepithelial tissue and blood vessels.
Results: A large number of microcysts filled with
fluid and loosely arranged subepithelial tissue were
observed in functioning blebs with no MMC application
(20 eyes). Smaller amount of microcysts but their larger
size and inflammatory cells were typical for functioning
blebs with MMC application (18 eyes). We found
encapsulated microcysts and dense connective tissue in
non-functioning blebs (9 eyes).
Conclusions: Visualization of filtering bleb
structure in vivo is an objective and helpful method of
evaluation of functioning status following
trabeculectomy. |
