Modification of sinusotrabeculectomy for various forms of glaucoma

The modification of sinusotrabeculectomy according to A.P. Nesterov is described. In open-angle glaucoma, the modification consisted in the fact that the strip of deep layers of the filtering zone was not resected, but restrained under the superficial scleral flap. When the coal is closed, this strip was tucked into the corner of the anterior chamber after pressing the root of the iris. 51 patients were operated on with this modification. There were no complications during the operations. Ophthalmotonus normalized by the time of discharge in all those operated without myotics.
