Surgical Treatment of Canine Glaucoma

Comparing the fibrosis inhibition effect of bevacizumab, 5-fluorouracil, and mitomycin C in trabeculectomy in dogs with glaucoma: A series of six cases

“…It is essential to mention that patients not adequately responding to glaucoma medical therapy are more and more frequently found in daily practice, having to resort to surgical treatments for the management of this pathology. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to techniques such as TEC to stabilize patients diagnosed with glaucoma and help control IOP when tonometry values continue to be high after 2-3 months of topical treatment (Maggio and Bras, 2015).…”

“…For many years, trabeculectomy has been used and accepted as the gold standard among filtration procedures in human medicine. Studies carried out in human medicine in recent years have focused on comparing long-term results of surgical inter-ventions performed using GDD and trabeculectomy [13] . The use of glaucoma drainage devices is increasing day by day.…”

Role of Inflammation in Canine Primary Glaucoma

“…The vicious cycle of inflammation and glaucoma is also relevant in canine patients undergoing filtering surgeries with gonioimplants [ 48 ]. Growth of the fibrotic capsule forming around the gonioimplant (bleb fibrosis), ultimately responsible for implant failure and IOP elevation, is believed to be stimulated (at least in part) by the ‘toxic’ inflamed aqueous humor of glaucomatous dogs that is drained in the subconjunctival space around the gonioimplant [ 48 , 49 , 50 ]. Moreover, antiglaucoma medications contribute to the development of subconjunctival fibrosis [ 30 ], further reducing the drainage of aqueous humor via the filtering device.…”
