[The influence of blood coagulation on cicatrization of the filtering scar following goniotrepanation (author's transl)]. 1980

P Drobec

An examination of 43 eyes which had undergone goniotrepanation in accordance with Fronimopoulos showed that blood coagulation plays a major part in the postoperative cicatrization of the filtering scar. Patients with short postoperative haemorrhages or with high rates of thrombocytes tend to suffer postoperative hypertension of the eye, whereas patients with haemorrhages of over 1 minute or with low rates of thrombocytes often have the clinical symptoms of postoperative hypotony.

D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
