[The late results of surgery in glaucoma over 5 years. A modification of sinusotrabeculectomy]

Modified sinusotrabeculectomy is technically simple, low traumatic, and therefore was used in elderly patients and in those with grave concomitant diseases. Sinusotrabeculectomy helps preserve the anterior chamber of the eye during surgery, that is why the postoperative period runs a more smooth course. When the anterior chamber is emptied during surgery, the anterior chamber recovers slowly in the postoperative period in elderly patients and patients with high intraocular pressure before surgery at the expense of reduced intraocular fluid production, and ciliochoroidal detachment develops more frequently.
