Disease relevance of Sclerostomy

Postoperative complications of subconjunctival THC-YAG (Holmium) laser sclerostomy [1].
A sclerostomy was produced in a case of chronic angle-closure glaucoma using the Argon laser [2].

High impact information on Sclerostomy

PURPOSE: To describe a corneal complication and its surgical repair after holmium laser sclerostomy [3].
Extensive detachment of Descemet membrane after holmium laser sclerostomy [3].
METHODS: A thulium, holmium, chromium-doped:YAG (THC:YAG) crystal laser was used to create thermal sclerostomies in 49 glaucomatous eyes of 46 patients [4].
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gonioscopic ab interno laser sclerostomy (GLS) in patients with glaucoma [5].
Ab-interno erbium (Er):YAG laser sclerostomy with iridotomy in Dutch cross rabbits [6].

Biological context of Sclerostomy

BACKGROUND: The THC-YAG (Holmium) laser is currently being used to create thermal sclerostomies, an alternate method of intraocular pressure control with poorly regulated glaucoma [1].

Anatomical context of Sclerostomy

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of THC:YAG (holmium) laser sclerostomy on corneal curvature and endothelial cell counts [7].
The use of a corneascleral flap producing a "guarded" Holmium sclerostomy reduces the incidence of complications and there were no flat or shallow anterior chambers in the 47 eyes operated on and reviewed in this study [8].

Associations of Sclerostomy with chemical compounds

A THC:YAG laser (thulium, holmium, chromium-doped YAG crystal) was used to create thermal sclerostomies in 21 glaucomatous eyes of 19 patients [9].
Silver oxide in YAG sclerostomy [10].
Fluorescein in laser sclerostomy [11].
RESULTS: Choroidal detachments developed 2.5 years after the sclerostomy; they resolved after discontinuation of the latanoprost and hydrochloride dorzolamide [12].
Internal sclerostomy with argon contact laser--animal experiment using 5-fluorouracil [13].

Gene context of Sclerostomy

TPA for sclerostomy occlusion [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Sclerostomy

A comparison of the efficacy of Holmium laser sclerostomy ab externo versus trabeculectomy in the treatment of glaucoma [15].
Iontophoresis of reactive black 5 for pulsed dye laser sclerostomy [16].
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 [17].
Phacoemulsification, foldable IOL, Holmium laser sclerostomy, and 5-FU [18].
