A Case Series Demonstrating a Novel Technique for Reversal of Trabeculectomy Using Lamellar Sclerectomy and Corneal Graft

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: We describe two cases demonstrating a new technique to permanently reverse a problematic trabeculectomy. BACKGROUND: Trabeculectomy-related complications are typically treated in a manner that preserves the initial surgical outcome; however, in certain cases a complete reversal of the trabeculectomy is preferable to revision. TECHNIQUE: Our technique involves seating a lamellar corneal graft into a partial thickness sclerectomy. CONCLUSION: This method achieves permanent closure of large ostomies or areas of scleromalacia. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This technique can be used on very anterior ostomies while still providing an excellent seal, patient comfort, and cosmesis without inducing astigmatism.
