Deniga Operation

Denig's operation, or Dennig's operation, was developed by American ophthalmologist Robert Dennig in 1900. It was created to treat glaucoma and other eye diseases associated with increased intraocular pressure.

The operation involves removing part of the sclera (the outer layer of the eye) and replacing it with an artificial material such as silicone or plastic. This reduces intraocular pressure and improves the patient's vision.

Denning's operation can be performed both on an outpatient basis and in a hospital setting. It usually takes about 30 minutes and does not require a long recovery period.

One of the main advantages of Denig's operation is its effectiveness. It can significantly reduce intraocular pressure, which leads to improved vision and a reduced risk of complications such as glaucoma.

However, like any surgical procedure, the Denig procedure has its risks and limitations. Some patients may experience discomfort or pain after surgery, and there is a risk of complications such as infection or rejection of the material.

Overall, Denig's surgery remains one of the most effective treatments for glaucoma and other eye diseases. It improves the quality of life of patients and reduces the risk of complications.



Deniga is an ophthalmologist and surgeon, professor at the Baltimore Medical College and the National School of Medical Science. He performed the first successful eye cataract operations by cutting the root of the pupil using a method suggested by his anatomy teacher. His techniques included laparoscopy, spiral corneal resection, and sulcular plating for the treatment of various eye diseases. In his book Oculoplastics, published in 2010, Deniga described an anatomically accurate image of the human eye.

Denick, born August 26, 1892, in St. Thomas, Canada. For the first time he described a medical study of blood. He performed operations as a result of his research and methods, and a detailed history of how he performed them was published. He earned great respect and was awarded a prestigious prize in medicine. He often said to his colleagues during operations: “Damn it! I have seen many such cases.”

He was a Fellow of the American Ophthalmological Association and a recipient of the Goodwin Burton Award for the Blind in the United States. Denik's scientific achievements have proven useful for patients with visual impairments, and the surgeon's techniques have been used in other surgical fields. He died on December 12, 1985
