An en bloc technique for the resection of anterior uveal tumors.
We modified trabeculo-iridocyclosclerectomy in a technique for en bloc excision of anterior uveal tumor. A trabeculectomy-type of approach was used, which allowed excision of a rectangular block of sclera, cornea, and trabeculum with attached uveal tissue containing the tumor.
