[Modification of the technic of subthrombic sclerectomy].

Subthrombic sclerectomy for the surgical treatment of glaucoma was proposed in 1975. The present modification comprises introduction of a third, additional stitch for fixing the scleral border in order to block the limbo scleral fistula by the implanted patch of the thrombus. It comprises also injection of air into the anterior chamber through the limbo-scleral fistula. Additional surgical actions reduce the excessive filtration and facilitate the reformation of the anterior chamber at the end of the operation.
