Description: A surgical procedure used in treatment of glaucoma in which an opening is created through which aqueous fluid may pass from the anterior chamber into a sac created beneath the conjunctiva, thus lowering the pressure within the eye.

1.	Glaucoma 12/01/2004 - "CONCLUSIONS: Glaucoma filtration surgery in pseudophakic eyes significantly improved IOP and reduced glaucoma medication requirements while maintaining stability of vision" 09/01/2003 - "CONCLUSIONS: These results support the hypothesis that filtering surgery (trabeculectomy) or combined surgery (phacotrabeculectomy) in patients with advanced glaucoma are associated with a significant improvement of the mean defect in standard automated perimetry without a significant change of LV defect." 02/01/2000 - "Postoperative values for anterior chamber depth were significantly greater in patients with glaucoma who underwent combined surgery, but no significant changes were observed in those who underwent filtration surgery alone" 09/01/1999 - "RESULTS: The rhAnti-TGF-beta2 mAb effectively inhibited TGF-beta2-mediated conjunctival scarring activity in vitro, at 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of less than 1 nM. It significantly improved glaucoma filtration surgery outcome in an animal model of aggressive conjunctival scarring compared with control (P = 0.0291) and was clinically safe, nontoxic, and well tolerated after subconjunctival administration" 01/01/1989 - "It is concluded that filtering surgery in low tension glaucoma may result not only in a significant lowering of IOP, but is also effective in slowing further deterioration of the visual fields."

2.	Open-Angle Glaucoma (Glaucoma, Open Angle) 08/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: In eyes with open-angle glaucoma, viscocanalostomy is less effective in reducing intraocular pressure than standard filtering surgery" 12/01/1996 - "CONCLUSIONS: When intraocular pressure is used as a therapeutic end point, both filtration surgery and medical therapy appear to be equally effective in maintaining long-term visual function and a stable optic disk in chronic open-angle glaucoma." 01/01/2006 - "MATERIAL-METHODS: Retrospective non randomised study including 171 eyes (136 patients), mean age: 63.9 years) with medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma and without previous filtering surgery" 02/01/2004 - "SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 32 eyes of 32 primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG) patients who underwent NPT as the first filtering surgery were enrolled in the study" 05/01/2007 - "Impact of intraocular pressure after filtration surgery on visual field progression in primary open-angle glaucoma."

4.	Neovascular Glaucoma 05/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with filtering surgery is considered to be an effective treatment for neovascular glaucoma to maintain the visual function for a long period." 09/01/1988 - "The visual acuities remained within one line of their preoperative levels or improved in 31 (76%) of the 41 aphakic or pseudophakic eyes with non-neovascular glaucomas; 3 (30%) of the 10 phakic eyes with non-neovascular glaucomas after failed filtering surgery; 10 (67%) of the 15 eyes with neovascular glaucomas; and 9 (100%) of the 9 eyes with non-neovascular glaucomas in patients younger than 13 years of age on whom Snellen acuity was available.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)" 12/01/1986 - "The visual acuities remained within one line of their preoperative levels or improved in 38 (79%) of the 48 aphakic eyes with non-neovascular glaucoma, 11 (69%) of the 16 phakic eyes with non-neovascular glaucoma after unsuccessful filtering surgery, and 12 (75%) of the 16 eyes with NVG" 05/01/2005 - "PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one eyes with neovascular glaucoma underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with filtering surgery between January 1995 and December 2003" 05/01/2005 - "BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of vitrectomy combined with filtering surgery for neovascular glaucoma" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
