Sectional excision of the trabecula and the Schlemm's canal (trabeculosinusectomy)

Abstract

The method of dissecting the trabecula together with a section of the Schlemm's canal described by Keirns in 1968 and Krasnov and Kolesnikova in 1969 is known. After the conjunctival flap is prepared, a superficial sclera flap is cut out with its base (or apex) towards the limbus. A 2 mm wide strip is cut from the deep layers of the sclera parallel to the limbus. This strip is assumed to include the sclamus canal and trabeculae. The scleral flap and conjunctiva are sutured.
