Trabeculectomy combined with beta irradiation for congenital glaucoma.
Sixty-six eyes with congenital glaucoma were subjected to trabeculectomy between July 1975 and June 1989 are presented. Thirty-one were treated with beta irradiation at the time of surgery with a strontium-90 applicator; 35 were not treated with beta irradiation. The usual dose was 750 rad. Analysis was limited to three years because of the shorter follow-up of the irradiated eyes. Failure in t...
متن کاملCombined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy compared with primary trabeculectomy for congenital glaucoma.
This paper aimed to assess the outcome of primary trabeculectomy for congenital glaucoma and to compare it with a combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy procedure. 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...

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...

The inclus...
