Various indications for artificial aqueous drainage systems (Molteno implant)

Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol. 1993:250:25-30.

Abstract

In reoperations the draining effect of a Molteno Implant can be enhanced by a "sandwich" arrangement or a "bleb to bleb" anastomosis. Molteno implants can also be inserted via a pars plana trepanation and can control juvenile glaucoma. They are also compatible with anterior chamber lenses and corneal transplants.
