Disease relevance of Iridectomy

  • In adults, unilateral sialectomy and iridectomy did not significantly alter ganglion T-OH activity or protein in rats followed up to one month after surgery [1].
 

High impact information on Iridectomy

  • After unilateral total iridectomy, maximum accommodation inducible by corneal iontophoresis of carbachol in rhesus monkeys was approximately 40% less in the iridectomized than in the contralateral untouched eyes, irrespective of age [2].
  • Total iridectomy in the cynomolgus monkey apparently has little, if any, effect on IOP, outflow facility, or facility response to intravenous pilocarpine, and the iris plays little, if any, role in mediating the facility response to intravenous pilocarpine [3].
  • INTERVENTION: The first patient was treated with a neodymium:YAG laser peripheral iridectomy with hyaloidectomy and with intracameral tissue plasminogen activator [4].
  • A peripheral iridectomy was performed intraoperatively in 14 eyes, whereas 4 additional eyes received a yttrium-aluminum-garnet peripheral iridectomy after surgery [5].
  • Eleven patients (68.7%) required surgical intervention, consisting of laser iridotomy, surgical iridectomy, trabeculectomy with or without 5-fluorouracil, and/or Molteno implantation [6].
 

Biological context of Iridectomy

 

Anatomical context of Iridectomy

  • Benzydamine at the concentration of 0.1% reduces inflammatory tissue changes induced by AgNO3 burning of the cornea and inhibits the blood-aqueous barrier breakdown due to peripheral iridectomy or laser irradiation of the iris [8].
 

Associations of Iridectomy with chemical compounds

  • Histopathology of neodymium: YAG laser iridectomy in humans [9].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The ultrastructure of the iridectomies from the latanoprost-treated eyes and the fellow eyes conformed to published standards for normal iris [10].
  • Total iridectomy does not alter outflow facility responses to cyclic AMP in cynomolgus monkeys [11].
  • Data on intraoperative iris procedures (excess manipulation, pupilloplasty, synechiolysis, peripheral iridectomy) and postoperative topical steroid usage were assessed [12].
  • OBJECTIVES: To examine the histopathologic features of iridectomy specimens from patients undergoing glaucoma surgery and to compare histologic abnormalities in a group of patients with a history of latanoprost therapy with those in a group of patients who had no history of prostaglandin therapy (controls) [13].
 

Gene context of Iridectomy

  • Tissue plasminogen activator for preserving inferior peripheral iridectomy patency in eyes with silicone oil [14].
  • Five patients had peripheral iridectomy during CLE as the angles were occludable [15].
  • After marked improvement of her condition after administration of activated protein C concentrate, she underwent a left iridectomy and implantation of a Broviak catheter under general anesthesia [16].
  • In the Douible Flap Scheie a conjunctival and scleral flap are made followed by a cornea-scleral cauterization and incision after which a peripheral iridectomy is made [17].
