Non-Penetrating Glaucoma Filtering Surgery-An overview
Trabeculectomy remains the standard surgery for intraocular pressure control for glaucoma. It involves a full thickness penetration of sclera, to allow aqueous seepage to subconjunctival space under a scleral flap.

METHODS This was a prospective, non-randomized, observational, comparative cohort study in which Trabectome surgery was used alone in patients with POAG or EXG. Trabectome surgery ...
متن کاملStab Incision Glaucoma Surgery: A Modified Guarded Filtration Procedure for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Purpose. To describe a modified guarded filtration surgery, stab incision glaucoma surgery (SIGS), for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods. This prospective, interventional case series included patients with POAG (IOP ≥21 mmHg with glaucomatous visual field defects). After sliding superior conjunctiva down over limbus, 2.8 mm bevel-up keratome was used to create conjunctival entry and s...
