| pubmed-article:12640553 | pubmed:abstractText | Lately there has been growing interest in deep sclerectomy as a therapeutic approach for the management of congenital glaucoma.In theory, its pressure-lowering effect is independent of external filtration, which minimizes the risk of failure due to conjunctival or episcleral scarring. In patients who have failed to benefit from previous filtering procedures and have refractory congenital glaucoma,deep sclerectomy could become an alternative. | lld:pubmed |
