sclerostomy

This iridectomy will prevent future blockage of the sclerostomy.

Contact laser: Thermal sclerostomy ab interna (1987)

Because of the fluid egress the iris will partially prolapse through the sclerostomy and is usually therefore grasped to perform an excision called iridectomy.

Penetrating filtering surgeries are further subdivided into guarded filtering procedures, also known as protected, subscleral, or partial thickness filtering procedures (in which the surgeon sutures a scleral flap over the sclerostomy site ), and full thickness procedures.
