Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Comparison Between The Outcome of Deep Sclerectomy and Traditional Trabeculotomy and Trabeculectomy Surgeries in Congenital Glaucoma
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that deep sclerectomy in congenital glaucoma is a safer procedure and may yield better results than trabeculotomy trabeculectomy approach.
Detailed Summary: Non penetrating glaucoma surgery depends on filtration through trabeculo-descmeto window as well as supra-choroidal space less to sub-conjunctival rout. the nature of the operation keeps the globe intact without penetration that leads to less complications compared to penetrating trabeculectomy combined with trabeculotomy.
