TLCK

German to English Medical Medical (general) Ophthalmology
Die am häufigsten auftretende Form des Glaukoms ist ein Sekundärglaukom nach Uveitis.
Um eine effektive Drucksenkung zu erzielen und den Erhalt der Augengesundheit zu gewährleisten, kann bei unzureichendem Ansprechen auf die konservative Therapie eine transsklerale Zyklophotokoaguation durchgeführt werden.
Die TLCK ist die chirurgische Therapie der Wahl zur Senkung der Kammerwasserproduktion.

Would anyone tell me what TLCK stands for? Does the author mean Trabeculectomy by any chance? That operation is also performed to reduce the intraocular pressure.

Thanks in advance

Ellen, that is what I had found too..... I found this right in the beginning of my search and it shows up in the Beckers Abkuerzungen as well. However this is a solution used, whereas the author says that TLCK is a surgical procedure. So what do you think it is?
roak (asker) Sep 19, 2017:
Quite foolish to use that kind of an abbreviation for this. Isnt it? Many references show TSCPC or TS-CPC. The German version is Transsklerale Zytophotokoagulation and there is no sign of a Z anywhere. That is what really made me doubt it and ended up asking a question. Even "Medizinische Abkuerzungen"show TSCPC as the abbreviation. https://www.medizinische-abkuerzungen.de/suche.html
Thanks anyways for saving my time and effort.

Note from asker:
Hi Eren, you think transskleralen Lasercyclokoagulation would suit better? and not Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation?

the German Abbreviation TLCK thus stand for "tosyl-lysine chloromethyl ketone " (Tos-Lys-CH2Cl)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Steffen Walter : A "chirurgische Therapie" can hardly be a chemical/pharmaceutical product (note the context: "Die TLCK ist die chirurgische Therapie der Wahl ...").
