Abstract

TRABECULECOMY (TRAB) STILL REMAINS THE PROCEDURE OF CHOICE FOR MOST GLAUCOMA SURGEONS. HOWEVER, IT HAS ITS OWN SHARE OF COMPLICATIONS AND FAILURES. ONCE A TRAB FAILS, THE FURTHER OPTIONS ARE LIMITED. THE USUAL NEXT STEP IS TO CONSIDER A GLAUCOMA DRAINAGE DEVICES (GDD), WHICH HAS SEVERAL SHORT AND LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT FAILURE RATE. GOING BACK TO TRABECULECTOMY AFTER A GDD HAS FAILED IS USUALLY NOT PRACTICAL. THEREFORE, FAILURE OF FIRST TRAB SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A DEAD END. IN THIS COURSE WE WILL DISCUSS THE PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY OF TRAB FAILURE AND DEMONSTRATE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES TO RESTORE FUNCTION OF AN ALREADY FAILED TRAB. COURSE WILL DEMONSTRATE AB-INTERNO BLEB REVISION, LIMITED EXTERNAL BLEB REVISION THROUGH A KEYHOLE INCISION, REVISION TRABECULECTOMY AND ROLE OF NEEDLING IN SUCH CASES AS WELL AS DISCUSS MEASURES REQUIRED TO TAKEN POST-RESURRECTION.
