Two-stage Neodymium-YAG laser trabeculotomy.
A preliminary report of a newly devised glaucoma operation is presented. This procedure combines a non-penetrating trabeculectomy with Neodymium:Yittrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd:YAG) trabeculotomy. This thus creates a through and through filtration under a scleral flap without actually entering the anterior chamber.
