Novel glaucoma surgery techniques can be divided into ab‐interno gonio‐surgeries and ab‐externo procedures involving the conjunctiva. An overview of the new procedures will be provided with emphasis on their efficacy and complications. The evidence of the available studies will be presented and an attempt will be made to clarify the role of the novel procedures within our glaucoma treatment algorithm.
