[The surgical treatment of uveal glaucoma].

The paper describes results after surgical treatment of 17 eyes with uveal glaucoma. Since conservative treatment could not achieve normalization of intraocular pressure, the following surgical interventions were made; peripheral intralamellar iridencleisis (7 eyes), sinusotrabeculectomy with basal iridectomy (4 eyes), iridocycloretraction (2 eyes), diathermocoagulation of the ciliary body (2 eyes), drainage by a silicon tube (2 eyes). Surgical complications were hyphema in 2 eyes, injury of the lens capsule in 1 eye; in 4 eyes a slight aggravation of the uveal process after the surgery was arrested by antiinflammatory therapy.
