Trabeculectomy as first choice of treatment has been performed on 100 consecutive cases in Africans. During the follow-up period ranging from 2 to 12 months, 79 eyes had a postoperative intraocular pressure of less than 21 mm Hg without any antiglaucomatous medications. Fourteen eyes operated upon (14%) had a postoperative intraocular pressure between 22 and 26 mm Hg. Seven cases (7%) showed an intraocular pressure higher than 28 mm Hg. Hypotony and hyphema encountered in 8 cases were a minor postoperative complication. Protrusion of the iris in the surgical wound occurring in 2 cases was a major complication. A correlation between the intraocular pressure one week and 28 weeks postoperatively showed that in most cases the intraocular pressure was higher after the longer follow-up. However, out of a group of 25 eyes operated upon showing an intraocular pressure of 14 mm Hg or less, one week postoperatively, only one eye (4%) showed an intraocular pressure higher than 20 mm Hg on the longer follow-up.
在非洲人当中，对连续100例患者实施了小梁切除术作为首选治疗方法。在2至12个月的随访期内，79只眼在未使用任何抗青光眼药物的情况下术后眼压低于21毫米汞柱。接受手术的14只眼（14%）术后眼压在22至26毫米汞柱之间。7例（7%）眼压高于28毫米汞柱。8例出现的低眼压和前房积血是轻微的术后并发症。2例手术伤口处虹膜脱出是严重并发症。术后1周和28周眼压的相关性表明，在大多数情况下，随访时间越长眼压越高。然而，在术后1周眼压为14毫米汞柱或更低的25只手术眼中，在更长时间的随访中只有1只眼（4%）眼压高于20毫米汞柱。
