Canaloplasty with suprachoroidal drainage (CSD) is a surgical technique used to treat glaucoma, a condition that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. This procedure involves accessing the drainage canal (Schlemm's canal) in the eye and creating a small opening in the suprachoroidal space, the space between the choroid layer and the sclera layer of the eye.

During CSD, a small incision is made in the eye to access Schlemm's canal, and a microcatheter is used to dilate and expand the canal. A small opening is then created in the suprachoroidal space, which allows for increased drainage of aqueous humor, the fluid that circulates inside the eye. This increased drainage can help to lower intraocular pressure in the eye, which is a key factor in glaucoma.

CSD is a newer variation of the traditional canaloplasty technique, and it may have some advantages over traditional canaloplasty, including potentially greater intraocular pressure reduction and a lower risk of complications such as bleeding and infection.
