title: [Surgical treatment of absolute and secondary glaucoma with rubeosis iridis].
abstract: An analysis of 52 cases of patients operated with cyclo-diathermy under the scleral flap has been presented. The scleral flap was situated depending on the changes in the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye. The thickness of the prepared flap was 3/4 of thickness of the sclera. The flap was over ciliary body, in one third of the eyeball. Diathermic puncture was performed in 3 rows while perforating puncture, draining off the aqueous humor from the posterior chamber, was performed 2 mm from the limbus. In 45 cases, intraocular pressure was normalized after the first operation, in 4 cases after the second one, whereas in 3 cases the pressure was kept at the level of 30-40 mm Hg.
