We propose that the decision to perform primary trabeculectomy in primary and secondary congenital glaucoma reduces the effect which the many variable findings in surgical anatomy may have on the outcom...
متن کاملCombined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy compared with primary trabeculectomy for congenital glaucoma.

The combined procedure was assessed using a prospective trial for children with primary glaucoma under the age of 1 year (n = 16). The primary trabeculectomy was assessed retrospectively using similar patients treated at the same hosp...
