  • Title: Trabeculoiridocyclectomy of tumors of the iris and ciliary body.
    Author: Minoda K.
    Journal: Dev Ophthalmol; 1981; 1():47-52. PubMed ID: 7227615.
    Abstract:
    A microsurgical technique of trabeculoiridocyclectomy for malignant tumors of the iris extending to the angle and ciliary body has been reported. With this technique, the lamellar dissection of the sclera anteriorly into the corneal stroma across the limbus permits excision of the trabecula which is involved with the tumor. In addition, the en bloc excision of the lesion avoids the necessity for a corneo-scleral graft because the outer lamellae are preserved. The ultimate value of this procedure must await long-term follow-up in operated cases.
