From: Bleb plication: a minimally invasive repair method for a leaking ischemic bleb after trabeculectomy
A case with primary open-angle glaucoma (94-year-old male, right eye: Patient 7 in Tables 1 and 2). Trabeculectomy with MMC was performed 14 years earlier, and conjunctival advancement was administered 4 years earlier. (A) Bleb leakage was sealed by conjunctival advancement 4 years earlier. (B) Recurrence of bleb leakage from the ischemic bleb. The mobility of the conjunctiva was poor and ischemic conjunctiva still remains in the bleb. (C) After bleb plication. (D) The leakage was sealed and the ischemic conjunctiva was reduced (at 4 months after bleb plication). MMC: Mitomycin C.
