Pars plana vitrectomy with pars plana tube implantation in eyes with intractable glaucoma.

Aims: Intractable glaucoma is glaucoma resistant to medical therapy and conventional surgical procedures. In this study, a planned surgical technique is discussed for controlling the increased intraocular pressure in selected cases with intractable glaucoma.

Methods: Total pars plana vitrectomy with pars plana tube implantation was performed in 17 eyes of 17 cases with intractable glaucoma.

Extraocular muscle imbalance after scleral buckling.
