Abstract

Trabeculectomy surgery – a very common procedure in Glaucoma! The role of Mitomycin C can’t be emphasized any stronger. Especially where in the post operative results are concerned.

In this video, we are talking about the unintentional human error of surgeon forgetting the sponge in the eye – We are calling it “The Lost Sponge Situation”, a mistake which can be made by anyone. We have tried our best to mention all the complications that can occur if the sponge is left behind during the surgery and ways to avoid this situation all together. With medical advances at the top during the current times- subconjunctival Mitomycin C injection has proven to work just beautifully!
