Abstract

TRABECULECTOMY HAS UNDERGONE REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES SINCE ITS INCEPTION. JUDICIOUS AUGMENTATION WITH ANTIMETABOLITES, SELECTIVE USE OF PORCINE COLLAGEN AND VARIOUS MODIFICATIONS OF THE STANDARD PROCEDURE HAVE ENSURED ENHANCED SUCCESS WITH INCREASED SAFETY. INTENSIVE POST-OPERATIVE FOLLOW UP AND A LOW THRESHOLD FOR EARLY INTERVENTION HAS RESULTED IN HIGHER PROPORTIONS OF EYES ACHIEVING TARGET IOP.

THIS IC WILL OFFER BASIC GUIDELINE OF THE PROCEDURE STARTING WITH CASE SELECTION, JUDICIOUS USE OF MMC OR OLOGEN, AND IMPORTANCE OF RELEASABLE SUTURES AND JUDICIOUS MODIFICATIONS IN DIFFERENT CASE SETTINGS. IT WILL ALSO DISCUSS THE BEST WAYS OF BLEB MANIPULATIONS INCLUDING LASER SUTUROLYSIS AND STAGED SUTURE RELEASE AND ANTIMETABOLITE ENHANCEMENTS. RECENTLY SUB TENON INJECTION OF MMC IS EMERGING AS A SUPERIOR METHOD OF DELIVERING THE ANTIMETABOLITE. WE WILL ALSO DISCUSS SEVERAL SURGICAL BENEFITS OF THE INJECTION METHOD THAT TRANSLATE TO POTENTIALLY BETTER OUTCOME FOR THE PATIENTS.
