[Clinical results following revision of covered goniotrepanation (Elliot-Fronimopoulos)].
Among 128 patients with glaucoma, 19 underwent a revision of a goniotrepanation with scleral flap. Adequate regulation of IOP was achieved in this way, in some cases with additional medication. This revision of the filtering bleb can be recommended as the operation of choice for all forms of glaucoma in which goniotrepanation with scleral flap was performed and in which pressure could not be regulated with additional medication.
