[Trans-corneal trabeculectomy].
One of the main causes in failure of fistulizing operations for glaucoma is related to conjunctival and subconjunctival cicatrization. Trans-corneal trabeculectomy is different from conventional fistulizing operations and the conjunctival incision is avoided. Passing through the cornea, partial thickness sclera and trabecula are removed. The conjunctiva is least violated during the procedures. Trans-corneal trabeculectomy was completed in 15 eyes with glaucoma. Most of filtering blebs revealed diffuse. The conjunctival inflammatory reaction was minimal with only mild hyperemia even at the first postoperative day. Intraocular pressure of 14 eyes was normal without any medication postoperatively.
