Glaucoma drainage devices in children: an updated review
ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE OFTALMOLOGIA(2024)
摘要
Implantation of glaucoma drainage devices is a valuable therapeutic option, particularly in children with glaucoma refractory to primary surgical treatment. Glaucoma drainage devices are typically used when conjunctival scarring hampers filtration surgery or prior angle procedures are not effective in controlling intraocular pressure. Despite known complications, the use of glaucoma drainage devices in children has increased in recent years, even as the primary surgical option. In this review, we evaluate the results of recent studies involving the implantation of glaucoma drainage devices in children, discussing new advances, and comparing the success rates and complications of different devices.
