Abstract：
Implantation of glaucoma drainage devices is a valuable therapeutic option, particularly in children with glaucoma refractory to primary surgical treatment. Glaucoma drainage devices are typically used when conjunctival scarring hampers filtration surgery or prior angle procedures are not effective in controlling intraocular pressure. Despite known complications, the use of glaucoma drainage devices in children has increased in recent years, even as the primary surgical option. In this review, we evaluate the results of recent studies involving the implantation of glaucoma drainage devices in children, discussing new advances, and comparing the success rates and complications of different devices.
摘要：
植入青光眼引流装置是一种有价值的治疗选择，特别是在初次手术治疗难治性青光眼儿童中。当结膜瘢痕形成妨碍过滤手术或先前的角度程序在控制眼内压方面无效时,通常使用青光眼引流装置。尽管已知并发症，近年来，儿童青光眼引流装置的使用有所增加，甚至作为主要的手术选择。在这次审查中,我们评估了最近在儿童中植入青光眼引流装置的研究结果，讨论新的进展，并比较不同装置的成功率和并发症。
