The holmium laser, equipped with a straight-firing probe, was used to create sclerostomies in seven New Zealand white rabbits through a corneal lamellar incision. One eye in each rabbit was treated with transconjunctival mitomycin-C (0.4 micrograms/mL for 5 minutes), and the fellow eye underwent sclerostomy without pretreatment with mitomycin-C as a control. The reduction in intraocular pressure was greater and persisted significantly longer in the eyes pretreated with mitomycin-C than in the controls. All control eyes had flat blebs by day 7 to 12, while the treated eyes maintained a bleb throughout the study. Microscopic examination showed that sclerostomies created by the straight-firing probe induced significantly less thermal damage than those created by the stationary side-firing probe. These results demonstrate that successful transcorneal sclerostomy without conjunctival incision can be created using the straight-firing holmium laser probe, with enhancement of filtration by pretreatment with transconjunctival mitomycin-C.","PeriodicalId":19625,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic surgery","volume":"28 1","pages":"353-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89844821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
