title: [Microsurgical modification of Allen's glaucoma operation].
abstract: The modified anti-glaucomatous operation, introduced its classical version by Allen, has been presented in this paper. The microsurgical version could be defined as micro-cyclodialysis with basal iridectomy, combined with the restoration of the anterior chamber. The surgery was performed in simple glaucoma and glaucoma in aphakic eyes. The details of the surgery and the illustrations of its respective phases have been presented. The results were based on clinical observation of 41 patients. The satisfactory results, up to 6 months, were obtained in 85.3% of the patients. Later the percentage decreases to 78%. For 10 aphakic eyes stabilization was obtained in 9 cases.
