Report on 104 Cases of Glaucoma Operated upon by Galvano-cautery
نویسنده
چکیده
MY OBJECT in publishing this series of glaucoma operations is to draw attention to the galvano-cautery puncture of Preziozi (1924, 1950) in the hope that other surgeons will give it a trial. It is very similar to Elliott's trephine operation, but is even easier to perform, and takes a much shorter time. In my report consideration is given to the result of the operation on the tension, together with the period of time each case has been under observation following the operation. I performed the first galvano-cautery puncture on July 27, 1950, and since that date all cases of glaucoma of whatever type admitted under my care at the Bath Eye Infirmary for operation have had a galvano-cautery puncture. In all, 121 galvano-cautery punctures have been performed on 104 eyes100 by myself, and 21 by my assistant, Mr. G. Miller Neatby. There were 54 operations in cases of chronic simple, 34 in acute or subacute, and 33 in secondary glaucoma.
