[Trabeculodialysis]

Trabeculodialysis, a new antiglaucoma surgical technique, developed at the Chair for Ophthalmic Diseases of the Yaroslavl Medical Institute, is described. Trabeculodialysis is aimed at recovery of intraocular fluid discharge via Schlemm's channel and then through orifices into intra- and episcleral vessels; this technique is indicated for patients with open-angle glaucoma in trabecular form of retention. Since 1990 this operation was performed in 50 glaucoma patients. The results will be presented in another paper.
