Abstract:
The near therapeutic effect of antiglaucomatous operations of various kinds on 266 eyes of 194 patients with various types of glaucoma were evaluated. 82 eyss of 61 patients out of those were followed up from 10 to 193 months(an average of 69 months) and thus the remote therapeutic effect was observed in these cases. In general the near operative results of this series was similar to those of the concurrent reports by other authors, but the remote effect was not satisfactory. Invariably, the therapeutic effect deteriorated as the time went by. The possible factors which led to the deterioration of the therapeutic effect were discussed by the author.Altogether 19 kinds of operative methods were used and four of them, Scheie's operation, subscleral sclerenclesis, interlamellar Scheie's operation and trabe-culectomy were the main methods used. It was found that trabeculectomy resulted in high percentage of success in controlling the intraocular pressure and brought about rather few complications. It was suggested that trabeculectomy be the operation of choice for the treatment, of glaucoma.
