Abstract
Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de una paciente operada previamente de cirugía de glaucoma con dispositivo XEN® sin incidencias, que presenta una ampolla hipertrófica produciendo un ectropión mecánico secundario. Se describe la técnica «Dry Lake» consistente en drenaje de la ampolla, previo bloqueo viscoelástico del dispositivo XEN® vía ab-interno, y el sellado de la ampolla inferior con pegamento tisular.
Discusión: En el manejo de este tipo de ampollas se han postulado tratamientos médicos, suturas compresoras e incluso la utilización de sangre autóloga. El uso del Tissucol®, ya descrito en la cirugía del glaucoma, puede ser útil en este tipo de casos de ampollas hipertróficas secundarias al dispositivo ab-interno XEN®.
Case report: The case of a patient with previous uncomplicated XEN® drainage glaucoma surgery is described, who presented with hypertrophic bleb and mechanical ectropion. Treatment consisted of the «Dry Lake» procedure to drain the hypertrophic bleb following blockage with viscoelastic of the ab-interno stent and bleb sealing with a tissue adhesive. Discussion: Proposals for the management of this type of bleb include therapeutic strategies, sutures or even autologous blood. The use of Tissucol®, already described in glaucoma surgery, may be appropriate to treat this complication of XEN® placement.
