WoW!Great vid…even tho if I’m not sure abt what I just saw!!!

Did the patient had a piece of “some kind of metal” stuck in his eye???
I was waiting to see it at the end,but they never showed it.

Fascinating nonetheless.

ILUVPOPPIN, I’m sorry I didn’t see your request until now. I couldn’t find it in PTZ archives, so I went to YT. Here is one that is about 5 1/2 min., the closest I could find to the original which is like 8-9 minutes long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ySMExj4OvU

It is simply the most amazing amount of semi-solid gunk I’ve ever seen come out of someone’s face.

Actually, the “Fugo Blade” is an instrument used pretty often in glaucoma surgery. Since the goal is to increase drainage, the blade uses a filament surrounded by plasma to remove tissue without causing any burns to the surrounding tissues. By doing this, the channel that’s created is less likely to just grow back and undo the procedure. Hope that’s helpful.

I kind of think this video got taken down because it originally was on YouTube, then went to other sites, then got back on YouTube. I think the person who put it on from another site wasn’t aware of the fact that it was on YouTube originally and took it down for some reason. I found the original for Emil so he could put it back up. I knew where it was on YouTube because the word “fugo” seemed kind of funny for a medical instrument! Don’t ya think? lol

1st, glad to C this vid back up, thanks Emilbus, well done!
2nd, not a big fan of eyes, or copius amounts of blood, but they still are great tools from a scientific perspective.
Thanks for the infor on the blue dye Gadfly, good to know the technical aspects of these proceedures.

I’m a longtime PTZ lurker and was registered before the site revamp and I re-registered because I think I can add some clarification about this video. The “cyst” in this video doesn’t look like a cyst but rather the ‘bleb’ from a glaucoma surgery called a trabeculectomy. Glaucoma is an elevated pressure in the eye and the surgery is performed to create improved drainage and lower the pressure. Down the road, it sometimes needs to be revised and this revision looks like the procedure being performed here.

By the way, the blue dye is used to confirm the effectiveness of the procedure before everything is closed up.

I hope this helped.

it was dye. You don’t want him taking out pieces of a perfectly good eyeball along with the nasty stuff.
