title: Trabeculectomy: a modified surgical technique.
abstract: A modified surgical technique is described for trabeculectomy using contemporary limbal incisional techniques for a simplified dissection of the lamellar scleral flap, a technically easier operation, with smoothly dissected surfaces. The results and complications are comparable to those using the standard method.
