[Obstructive glaucoma--the comparative results with different surgical technics].

Abstract

The authors operated 20 eyes of secondary glaucoma, the angle being blocked by goniosynechias (obstructive glaucoma). All the eyes had a past history of 1-7 antiglaucoma operations by conventional techniques without lowering intraocular tension. The Benedikt operation was efficient in 3 of 10 eyes (compensation of less than 24 mmHg with medication); the La Roca technique in 3 of 7 eyes, and the Nesterov operation in none of the 3 eyes in which it was applied.
