Trabeculotomy
Neuhann TF; Neuhann IMTechniques in Ophthalmology 2010; 8: 55-59
Trabeculotomy has largely been dismissed for surgery of adult primary open-angle glaucoma and is currently mainly used for congenital and dysgenetic glaucoma. This may be caused by technical imperfections of the traditional techniques. The authors present and discuss their own technical approach and the rationale for it. It permits reliable, reproducible, and verifiable achievement of the surgical goal and may give better results even in adult primary open-angle glaucoma than currently perceived in the ophthalmologic community.
