[A method for forming a conjunctival flap in trabeculectomy].
The paper describes results after trabeculectomy using 4 variants of conjunctival flap formation. The influence of the method of conjunctival flap formation on the formation of the filtration cushion as well as a hypotensive effect of the operation are analysed. The method was used in 80 patients (83 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma. It was found that a traditional method of conjunctival flap formation (with the basis to the limbus), as compared with the non-traditional ones (with the basis to the fornix and a radial one), creates better conditions for the formation of the optimal filtration cushion and provides a stable hypotensive effect of trabeculectomy (87.5%).
