It is characterized by the formation of an artificial drainage fistula between the anterior chamber and subconjunctival space. The successful operation is evidenced by the appearance of a subconjunctival filtration bleb which in turn depends on the patency of this pathway. Despite numerous modification, the procedu...展开更多
