title: [The value of inferior trabeculectomy in combined cataract-glaucoma surgery. Apropos of 54 cases].
abstract: In 54 consecutive cases of glaucoma triple procedure, a trabeculectomy was systematically performed at six o'clock. By separating the order and the locations of the incisions as well as their placement in limbo-corneal sites, haemorrhages are minimized. A watertight, controlled running suture avoids post-operative flat anterior chamber, and permits rapid tonometric normalisation. The results of these first cases are: a mean post-operative ocular pressure (O.P.): 15.1 mmHg, mean drop of O.P.: 36%; tonometric normalisation and visual-functional improvement above 90%.
