Abstract Major problems in the early postoperative phase in filtering surgery are hypotony, flattening of the anterior chamber and choroidal detachment. We describe a new suture technique for the closure of the conjunctiva in goniotrephination with a fornix-based conjunctival flap which is helpful in reducing these complications. After dissecting the conjunctiva from the limbus, a shallow groove is cut directly behind the former conjunctival insertion. At the end of the operation the conjunctiva is sutured into this groove using a running 10.0 nylon suture in a meander-like fashion. A very tight wound closure results. We used this technique in 104 consecutive goniotrephinations. We found a low incidence of only mild external fistulation, hypotony, flattening of the anterior chamber and choroidal detachment. Astigmatism induced by the operation was-1.2+±1.2D, usually with the rule.
