METHODS Standard trabeculectomy was performed in fifteen pig eyeballs. All pig eyes were tested twice: one test with conventional suture in both flap's corners (conventional suture group) and another test with a conventional suture at...

Trabeculectomy or modified deep sclerectomy in juvenile uveitic glaucoma

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of trabeculectomies (TE) and modified deep sclerectomies (mdS) in a group of patients with juvenile uveitic secondary glaucoma. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 16 TE and eight mdS.
