  • Title: [Comparison of results of iridencleisis and covered goniotrepanation].
    Author: Mayer H.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1984 Jun; 184(6):569-71. PubMed ID: 6482281.
    Abstract:
    Monolateral fixed iridencleisis and goniotrepanation with a scleral flap are reliable long-term pressure-regulating procedures for all forms of primary glaucoma. They involve little risk of complications. Goniotrepanation with a scleral flap is a technically simpler procedure and is preferred because of the good results obtained with it. Iridencleisis seems to offer advantages only in cases of protracted acute glaucoma.
