[Limbus-based flap versus fornix-based flap in goniotrepanation].
In a prospective, randomized study 61 eyes in which goniotrepanation had been performed using fornix-based or limbus-based conjunctival flaps were followed up for 4 to 18 months. No differences were found in the results of filtration, nor in the form and frequency of filtering blebs or the frequency of complications. In view of the easier technique and better visualization, the present authors prefer the fornix-based flap.
