Safe Trabeculectomy for Beginners

Dr. Sachin, Dr. Muazzam Akbar

Abstract :

 

Trabeculectomy is currently the most frequently performed surgical procedure for glaucoma. The modern trabeculectomy is a safe and effective procedure, with a high success rate. The chief aim is to allow aqueous to bypass the trabecular meshwork into the sub–conjunctival space, but at the same time, ensuring an optimum intraocular pressure (IOP) (i.e., not too high or too low) as well as maintaining the anatomy of the globe

(i.e., preventing shallowing of the anterior chamber) (1,2). It is important to assess each patient individually before undertaking trabeculectomy. Aiming for a target pressure specific for each individual eye should be an important consideration.
