title: [Trabeculectomy with releasable sutures: initial experience].
abstract: The authors present an account on their first results of trabeculectomy with releasable sutures, as described by Osher. The intraocular pressure before operation was on average 21.7 mm Hg (23-40 mm Hg). During the last visit (on average 2.8 months after operation) it was 13.5 mm Hg (13-15 mm Hg), incl. six eyes without treatment. Only in two eyes during the early postoperative period a shallower anterior chamber was observed. The authors recommend more extensive use of the technique of releasable suture in trabeculectomy.
