The prediction of vascular sheath detachment in making anti-glaucomatous surgeries
The object of this work was to study the preoperative ultrasound criteria, the potentials of predicting vascular sheath detachment in the early postoperative period on the basis of the totality of ultrasound study measurements for anti-glaucomatous surgeries. The case histories of patients, subjected to surgical treatment of glaucoma at State Institution "The Kurgan Regional Hospital for War Veterans" in 2007, have been analyzed. As a result, a group of 27 patients with vascular sheath detachment (VSD) in the early operative period has been singled out, as well as a control group of 30 subjects without VSD. The ultrasound study of eyeball has been made in the preoperative period, and in case of vascular membrane thickness increase from 1.0 mm and more, the diameter increase of visual nerve with sheathes from 6.0 mm and more, as well as in case of subchoroidal space visualization, the probability of developing vascular sheath detachment in the early postoperative period is predicted. The application for issue of patent for invention No. 2008123703 (028683) of 10.06.2008.
