Abstract
BETWEEN 30% TO 50% OF TRABECULECTOMIES (TRAB) FAIL IN ABOUT 3 YEARS. ONCE A TRAB FAILS, FURTHER OPTIONS TO CONTROL INTRAOCULAR PRESURE (IOP) SHRINK RAPIDLY. GLAUCOMA DRAINAGE DEVICES HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF COMPLICATIONS WITH A HIGH FAILURE RATE AT ABOUT 30%. TRAB STILL REMAINS THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE FOR LOWERING IOP THEREFORE, FAILURE OF A TRAB SHOULD NOT BE THE END POINT IN ITS COURSE AS TRAB BLEBS CAN BE REVIVED IN THE EARLY AS WELL AS IN THE LATE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD. HOWEVER, TO ACHIEVE THIS A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCEDURE, THE WOUND HEALING PROCESS AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH FAILURE AND HOW TO CONTROL THEM IS IMPORTANT. A NUMBER OF PROCEDURES SUCH AS BLEB MANIPULATION, REMOVING SURUTES, ADJUSTING POSTOPERATIVE MEDICINES INCLUDING USE OF ANTI FIBROSIS AGENTS, BLEB NEEDLING AND REVISION OF FAILED BLEBS HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED FOR FAILING OR FAILED BLEBS. IN THIS COURSE WE WILL DISCUSS HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST OPTION AND HOW TO APPLY IT, WITH THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS EXPLAINED.
