Selective trabecular surgery
Jacobi P. C., Dietlein T. S., Krieglstein G. K.
Dept. of Ophthalmology, University of Cologne, Germany
In contrast to conventional filtering procedures, trabecular surgery
aims to selectively combat the diseased structure in the pathogenesis
of chronic open-angle glaucoma, thereby reducing the potential intra-
and postoperative hazards of transscleral drainage operations. New techniques
in trabecular surgery will be overviewed, with special emphasis on the
description of each novel technique, its intrumentation, presumed mechanism
of action and long-term clinical results. We will evaluate "goniocurettage"
and "laser trabecular ablation" for the treatment of primary
open-angle glaucoma. Although preliminary results are truly promising
it has to be understood that some of these procedures are still experimental
and under careful clinical evaluation, however, leaving plenty of room
for refinements and further developments.
