[Long-term results following goniotrepanation with a scleral flap (Elliot-Fronimopoulos)]

The present paper reports on results obtained in 442 eyes which were followed up 3 to 9 years after goniotrepanation for various forms of glaucoma. The overall success rate in cases of primary glaucoma was 93 to 97%, with only a small number of intraoperative and postoperative complications; there were no severe complications such as visual field loss or endophthalmitis.
