Abstract
SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR GLAUCOMA IS TYPICALLY USED WHEN CONSERVATIVE MEASURES FAIL. TRABECULECTOMY DESCRIBED BY CAIRNS IN 1968 WAS THE FIRST GUARDED FILTERING PROCEDURE AND BECAME THE MOST COMMONLY PERFORMED SURGICAL MODALITY. TRABECULECTOMY PROVIDES A NON-PHYSIOLOGIC ROUTE FOR AQUEOUS OUTFLOW,BUT DESPITE THE SURGEON’S BEST EFFORTS COMPLICATIONS MAY OCCUR. A GOOD SURGICAL OUTCOME REQUIRES EARLY DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THESE COMPLICATIONS. SOME SURGEONS SAY THAT HALF OF THE WORK FOR A TRABECULECTOMY IS DONE IN THE OPERATING ROOM AND THE OTHER HALF IS DONE THROUGH THE POSTOPERATIVE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT.THIS COURSE AIMS TO REITERATE THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR THE IMMEDIATE AND LATE POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF TRABECULECTOMY.
