Transition to nonpenetrating trabecular surgery: sclerotrabeculectomy.

A transition from trabeculectomy to nonpenetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS) is proposed under the name of sclerotrabeculectomy. The technique, which is aimed at facilitating the transition to NPTS, is a modification of both penetrating and nonpenetrating techniques. Sclerotrabeculectomy uses a more superficial sclerokeratectomy than NPTS to avoid the risk of perforation.
