Surgical intervention on the ciliary body; new trends for the relief of glaucoma.

TL;DR: A new epoch in this field was opened by the sclerocyclotomy with thermocautery of Fiore and the cyclectomy of Verhoeff, which aimed also at a good filtration by perforating the sclera with galvanOCautery.

Abstract: The idea of acting on the ciliary body to reduce the aqueous output and consequently to lower the intraocular tension is not a recent therapeutic advance. From the cyclotomy of Hancock 1 and Abadie, 2 the sclerocyclotomy with thermocautery of Fiore 3 and the cyclectomy of Verhoeff 4 developed. Other clinical or experimental attempts to reduce eye tension by means of cauterizations of the pericorneal or ciliary region were performed by Hamburger 5 (silver nitrate cauterizations), by L. Weekers, 6 by Puscariu and Cerkez, 7 by Favaloro 8 (following the technic of Schoeler 9 ), by Preziosi 10 and by Curran. 11 The two latter aimed also at a good filtration by perforating the sclera with galvanocautery. All these procedures had, however, only a restricted number of followers because of the fear that excessive damage to the ciliary body might arise. A new epoch in this field was opened by the

TL;DR: In 1942, while all scientific exchanges between the United States and Belgium were cut off, Albaugh and Dunphy described a similar operation, however, this differs from theirs in several points, which the authors shall comment on later.
