Abstract
- The authors analysed 30 eyes that "Trabeculectomy ab externo" was performed in S.N.U.H. Trabeculectomy was preferable operation in simple glaucoma and even in chronic closed angle glaucoma, but in congenital glaucoma, goniotomy was more preferable than trabeculectomy. In its mode of action, trabeculectomy was regarded as a sort of filtering precedure.
