Other Surgery

Many of these described procedures are historical and are not recommended due to a risk of complications. Particularly, these include operations done on ciliary body in an attempt to control glaucoma, since highly safer surgeries for glaucoma, including lasers, non-penetrating surgery, guarded filtration surgery and seton valve implants have been invented.

• A ciliarotomy is a surgical division of the ciliary zone in the treatment of glaucoma.
• A ciliectomy is 1) the surgical removal of part of the ciliary body, or 2) the surgical removal of part of a margin of an eyelid containing the roots of the eyelashes.
• A ciliotomy is a surgical section of the ciliary nerves.
• A conjunctivoanstrostomy is an opening made form the inferior conjuctival cul-de-sac into the maxillary sinus for the treatment of epiphora.
• Conjuctivoplasty is plastic surgery of the conjunctiva.
• A conjunctivorhinostomy is a surgical correction of the total obstruction of a lacrimal canaliculus by which the conjuctiva is anastomosed with the nasal cavity to improve tear flow.
• A corectomedialysis, or coretomedialysis, is an excision of a small portion of the iris at its junction with the ciliary body to form an artificial pupil.
• A corectomy, or coretomy, is any surgical cutting operation on the iris at the pupil.
• A corelysis is a surgical detachment of adhesions of the iris to the capsule of the crystalline lens or cornea.
• A coremorphosis is the surgical formation of an artificial pupil.
• A coreplasty, or coreoplasty, is plastic surgery of the iris, usually for the formation of an artificial pupil.
• A coreoplasy, or laser pupillomydriasis, is any procedure that changes the size or shape of the pupil.
• A cyclectomy is an excision of portion of the ciliary body.
• A cyclotomy, or cyclicotomy, is a surgical incision of the ciliary body, usually for the relief of glaucoma.
• A cycloanemization is a surgical obliteration of the long ciliary arteries in the treatment of glaucoma.
• An iridectomesodialsys is the formation of an artificial pupil by detaching and excising a portion of the iris at its periphery.
• An iridodialysis, sometimes known as a coredialysis, is a localized separation or tearing away of the iris from its attachment to the ciliary body.
• An iridencleisis, or corenclisis, is a surgical procedure for glaucoma in which a portion of the iris is incised and incarcerated in a limbal incision. (Subdivided into basal iridencleisis and total iridencleisis.)
• An iridesis is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the iris is brought through and incarcerated in a corneal incision in order to reposition the pupil.
• An iridocorneosclerectomy is the surgical removal of a portion of the iris, the cornea, and the sclera.
• An iridocyclectomy is the surgical removal of the iris and the ciliary body.
• An iridocystectomy is the surgical removal of a portion of the iris to form an artificial pupil.
• An iridosclerectomy is the surgical removal of a portion of the sclera and a portion of the iris in the region of the limbus for the treatment of glaucoma.
• An iridosclerotomy is the surgical puncture of the sclera and the margin of the iris for the treatment of glaucoma.
• A rhinommectomy is the surgical removal of a portion of the internal canthus.
• A trepanotrabeculectomy is used in the treatment of chronic open and chronic closed angle glaucoma.
