창상치유의 생화학적 조절을 통한 녹내장수술의 발전

Abstract

The goal of glaucoma filtration surgery(GFS) is to lower the intraocular pressure(IOP) by maintaining a fistula between the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space for the drainage of aqueous humor.

This is usually successful in eyes with various types of glaucoma that have not had previous operations.

Risk for GFS failure include previously failed filtering surgery, aphakia, pseudophakia, his tory of uveitis, young age and neovascularization of the anterior segment. The natural wound healing process and scarring at the surgical site is the most common cause of GFS failure. Much attention has been directed toward controlling and modulating the wounding healing response wish different pharmacological agents.
