A review of 38 eyes of 24 patients receiving filtration surgery for childhood glaucoma is presented. A total of 54 procedures were performed, including both thermal sclerostomies and trabeculectomies. Successful control of intraocular pressure was obtained in 20 eyes (52%). Average follow-up time was four years, two months. Filtration surgery is seen as a useful technique in the treatment of childhood glaucoma when goniotomy fails. It also is useful in those conditions where the success rate of goniotomy is expected to be low.
本文介绍了对24例接受儿童青光眼滤过手术的患者的38只眼睛的回顾。共进行了54次手术，包括热巩膜切开术和小梁切除术。20只眼睛（52%）成功控制了眼压。平均随访时间为四年零两个月。当房角切开术失败时，滤过手术被视为治疗儿童青光眼的一种有用技术。在房角切开术成功率预计较低的情况下，它也很有用。
