[Aqueous humor outflow pathways following trabeculectomy in patients with glaucoma].
The distribution pattern of fluorescein sodium after trabeculectomy was studied in 43 patients. There was good correlation between the formation of a visible filtering bleb and fluorescein accumulation at the trabeculectomy site. The mechanism of action of trabeculectomy is discussed with regard to alternative outflow pathways.
