Sclérectomie profonde non perforante au Brésil

These results demonstrate that deep nonpenetrating sclerectomy with external trabeculectomy is a safe and efficient filtering procedure that provides satisfactory IOP control with a minimal rate of complications, even in patients with high surgical risk of failure such as the highly mixed Brazilian population. The results suggest that this revolutionary procedure could be used as first-intention treatment in Brazilian glaucomatous patients that do not have access to expensive medical treatment.
