Dr. Samuelson’s expertise offers a pioneering insight into the challenges and opportunities of effectively managing glaucoma, an increasingly prevalent issue among patients.
Concierge medical practice owners, eager to stay at the forefront of innovative care, will find value in Dr. Samuelson's step-by-step walkthrough using real surgical footage. This cutting-edge technique might be just what your practice needs to ensure comprehensive service and patient satisfaction.
Overcoming Challenges in Gel Stent Implantation
One of the core challenges Dr. Samuelson addressed was the failure of the Xen (by Allergan/AbbVie) at the level of Tenon's capsule. Histological intricacies, such as the absence of a true subconjunctival space, mean that surgeons must create this space to succeed in implantation. Understanding these nuances can enhance your surgical precision and patient outcomes.
His practical approach to preventing complications like entrapment and kinking equips practitioners with the know-how to optimize procedures, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in patient care.
