1.	Glaucoma 01/01/1991 - "Trabeculotomy gave the best results and can be considered as the most efficient operation in congenital glaucoma." 11/01/1989 - "Trabeculotomy gives the best results and is the most suitable intervention in congenital glaucoma." 12/01/1983 - "Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) seems to be highly effective in eyes with failed trabeculectomy while eyes with secondary glaucoma have a poor response." 09/01/2001 - "The postoperative IOP in these 11 eyes was 15.5 +/- 2.8 mm Hg. CONCLUSION: Trabeculotomy is very effective in lowering the IOP in patients with juvenile glaucoma" 01/01/1976 - "It is concluded that, contrary to the situation in adult onset glaucoma, the strong proliferative tendency of juvenile tissue has a marked influence on the postoperative efficacy of the trabeculotomy."

2.	Open-Angle Glaucoma (Glaucoma, Open Angle) 01/01/1986 - "This prospective clinical study comparing laser trabeculoplasty, medical therapy and surgery as the primary therapy for 168 patients with untreated chronic simple glaucoma, showed that the surgical group resulted in the lowest mean intraocular pressures, and was most effective in controlling the diurnal swing of intraocular pressures" 12/01/1988 - "It appears that in cases of primary open angle glaucoma of this severity the risk of delaying operation are significantly greater than those of performing trabeculectomy as the primary treatment." 09/01/2005 - "Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction as therapy in several forms of open-angle glaucoma" 01/01/2004 - "CONCLUSIONS: NPDS appears to be an effective and safe filtering procedure for lowering IOP and could be an alternative to trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma with the advantage of having fewer complications." 01/01/2008 - "Trabeculotomy Ab Interno, using the Trabectome: a promising treatment for patients with open-angle glaucoma."

3.	Cataract (Cataracts) 12/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: Combined trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification surgery is a useful treatment for glaucomatous patients with coexisting cataract, and provides good visual and ocular-pressure results" 07/01/2006 - "The previous gold standard of combined surgery consisted of cataract surgery and trabeculectomy" 07/01/1997 - "CONCLUSION: The combination of trabeculectomy with releasable scleral flap sutures and small incision cataract surgery with foldable IOL implantation has improved postoperative IOP control and visual rehabilitation." 01/01/2005 - "The trials enrolled three types of participants (high risk of failure, trabeculectomy combined with cataract surgery, no previous surgical intervention)" 01/01/2005 - "the most recent trial, participants with mild OAG, progressive visual field (VF) loss, after adjustment for cataract surgery, was not significantly different for medications compared to trabeculectomy (Odds ratio (OR) 0.74; 95% CI 0.54 to 1.01)" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
4.	Blister (Bulla) 10/01/2008 - "Needle revision of filtering blebs is a useful adjunct to failed, failing, leaking, or dysesthetic trabeculectomy filters and can be performed in a variety of settings and techniques with fairly good results" 07/01/2008 - "Thus, the slow release of POE/5-CU may be beneficial for the prevention of bleb closure in patients who undergo complicated trabeculectomy." 11/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a shallow anterior chamber and overfiltrating blebs following a recent trabeculectomy can be treated successfully with a combination of a long acting gas and a viscoelastic material." 06/01/1996 - "RESULTS: The fascia lata patch graft was effective in closing the filtration over the old trabeculectomy site at the nasal quadrant, and a new filtering bleb developed superiorly over the new trabeculectomy site, resulting in sustained IOP control" 05/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: Fornix-based trabeculectomy with a scleral tunnel appears to be an effective method of developing diffuse, vascular and safe blebs with a low risk of late-onset bleb leak."

5.	Uveitis 01/01/1990 - "This study confirmed that trabeculectomy predictably reduces the intraocular pressure to within the accepted normal range and that the pressure level below which the intraocular pressure could not be expected to fall was congruent to 14 mm/Hg. It also revealed that although some post operative abnormality was noted in two-thirds of the patients there were no long term problems which could be related to any operative or immediately post-operative complications, including shallow anterior chambers, uveitis and hyphaema" 05/01/2004 - "Classical trabeculectomy is known to have a less favourable outcome in uveitis" 08/01/2003 - "The entry criteria were no history of intraocular surgery, laser iridotomy, and/or laser trabeculoplasty within 12 months before and after the enrolment; and no history of uveitis; no changes in antiglaucoma drugs within 6 months before and after the enrolment" 10/01/2001 - "Patients who had undergone intraocular surgery, laser trabeculoplasty, and laser iridotomy within 12 months before enrollment, and patients with history of uveitis and any changes in antiglaucoma drugs within 6 months before enrollment were excluded" 06/01/1999 - "It appears that trabeculectomy may have a beneficial effect on the course of uveitis" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
