title: [A variant of glaucoma surgery].
abstract: The suggested variant of surgery provides an enhanced outflow of aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye into the suprachoroidal and subconjunctival spaces, this resulting in a reliable and stable hypotensive effect. In 53 of the 56 eyes with various forms, stages, and compensation degree of primary glaucoma, operated on, ophthalmic tone after surgery was within 18-20 mm Hg, in 3 cases it was within 15-17 mm Hg, and when the patients were discharged from hospital it was 18-21 mm Hg in all the eyes operated on. No cases of ciliochoroidal detachment, hyphema, or other complications were recorded in the postoperative period, that ran a smooth course with the minimal recovery inflammation reaction of the eye and was shorter by 3.5 bed-days, on an average. The technique is simple and available for ophthalmic surgeons, low traumatic and highly effective in patients with various stages of primary glaucoma, this recommending it for wide practice.
