Abstract

Trabeculectomy, first described was most likely the surgical procedure of choice for treating glaucoma. It soon became evident that successful reduction of the IOP following trabeculectomy was clearly related to the presence of the subconjunctival filtering bleb. Sclerothalamotomy was introduced later on after some initial studies were done. The main inclusion criterion for this study was an insufficient response to medical treatment of IOP. Advantages of the STT method, compared with trabeculectomy, perforating and non-perforating deep sclerectomy seem to be the low rate of postoperative complications and a constant level of reduced IOP. The studies also showed low rate of postoperative complication.
