Trabeculotomy should be considered as a kind of anti-glaucomatous operation through which better drainage through the corneo-scleral trabeculum and the channel of Schlemm could be achieved, and which we aplied in almost all kinds of glaucoma with success in 64,44%. We had the best results with the patients suffering from glaucoma simplex, expressed in percentage — 95%.
Although the total number of operated patients is not high, we could still say, on the basis of our experience, that trabeculotomay as an anti-glaucomatous operation has given good post-operative results, especially in cases of glaucoma simplex.
Further research work will show to what extent trabeculotomy is better than other anti-glaucomatous operations and in which cases it should be applied.
