Abstract

THIS COURSE WITH THE AID OF EDITED SURGICAL VIDEOS WILL COVER A NUMBER OF PRACTICAL ISSUES INVOLVED IN IMPLANTATION OF VALVED (AGV) &NON VALVED (AADI) AQUEOUS DRAINAGE IMPLANTS.WET LAB TRAINING TO PERFECT SURGICAL STEPS AND A NEEDLE GENERATED LONG SCLERAL TUNNEL WITHOUT CREATING A SCLERAL FLAP OR USING A PATCH GRAFT TO COVER THE TUBE–THE KEY TO PREVENT TUBE EXPOSURES/EXTRUSIONS WILL BE DISCUSSED . AFTER DESCRIPTION OF THE BASIC METHODS OF IMPLANTATION,MODIFICATIONS IN IMPLANTATION TECHNIQUES WILL BE COVERED IN THE CONTEXT OF SPECIFIC PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE ENCOUNTERED SUCH AS BUPHTHALMIC EYES, SHALLOW ANTERIOR CHAMBER,PRE-EXISTING SCLERAL BUCKLE, PRESENCE OF SILICONE OIL EMULSIFICATION,POST KERATOPLASTY GLAUCOMA, PRE EXISTING EXTENSIVE SUPERIOR CONJUNCTIVAL SCARRING & PREVIOUS FAILED DRAINAGE DEVICE.POST OPERATIVE SHALLOW CHAMBER,CHOROIDAL EFFUSION,EXCESSIVE FIBROSIS OVER PLATE,TUBE AND PLATE RELATED COMPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES WILL BE DISCUSSED.
