Abstract

SUMMARY

Objective: To study the effectiveness of intraoperative use of viscoelastic (viscoat) in patients with initial,
developed and advanced stages of primary glaucoma in repeated surgeries.

Materials and methods
We have examined 44 patients (44 eyes) with average age of 68.3Ü.7 years. All
patients were divided into 2 groups. 1st group -21 patient (21 eye), 9 men-42.9±10.8%, 12 women - 57.1±10.8%
who had been subjected to sinus trabeculectomy conducted by standard method. 2nd group - 23 patients (23
eyes), 11 men - 47.8±10.4%, 12 women - 52.2 ± 10.4%. The patients in the 2nd group had sinus trabeculectomy
conducted with the introduction of viscoelastic under the scleral flap.

Conclusions
The hydrodynamic performance data confirm the efficiency of viscoelastic during anti glaucomatous
operation (STEK). Taking into account the lack of toxicity of viscoelastic in glaucoma treatment it is recommended
to use it for repeated surgical procedures.
