Abstract
Clinical case

A 71-year-old woman presented with a leaking bleb after a combined phacotrabeculectomy performed 13 years ago. To construct a new filtering bleb, the necrotic area was fully excised. The amniotic membrane was inserted over the scleral flap underneath healthy conjunctiva edges. A conjunctiva-Tenon autograft from the contralateral eye was sutured and was sealed with fibrin adhesive.

Discussion

We propose a new surgical technique to repair late leak failures after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in blebs with a large avascular area. Transplantation of amniotic membrane and conjunctival autograft may be used to repair late leak failures with inadequate conjunctiva to advance.

Resumen
Caso clínico

Mujer de 71 años que presenta punto de fuga en la ampolla de una facotrabeculectomía realizada 13 años antes. Se reseca área necrótica y se sutura trasplante de membrana amniótica sobre el tapete escleral hiperfiltrante. Sobre esta se sutura injerto de conjuntiva y Tenon del ojo contralateral.

Discusión

Se propone nueva técnica quirúrgica para el tratamiento de fístula de filtración tardía tras trabeculectomía con mitomicina C y área avascular extensa. Se aplica adhesivo de fibrina para el sellado de incisiones. El doble trasplante de membrana amniótica y conjuntiva contralateral puede utilizarse para reparar puntos de fuga tardíos postrabeculectomía con conjuntiva insuficiente.
