What is Trabeculectomy

Trabeculectomy is a type of eye surgery used to treat glaucoma.It works by creating a new opening in the eye called a filtration bleb that helps to reduce the buildup of fluid pressure in the eye.

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the white part of the eye, called the sclera.The surgeon then creates a flap in the sclera and removes part of the trabecular meshwork. This is a network of tiny tubes in the eye responsible for draining fluid.

The new filtration bleb created by the procedure helps to reduce the pressure in the eye.The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis, with local or general anesthesia.

After the procedure, drops may be used to reduce inflammation and help the eye heal.Possible complications include infection, bleeding, and vision loss.

Causes of Trabeculectomy

Glaucoma: This condition is caused by an increase in pressure in the eye due to a buildup of fluid. Trabeculectomy can be used to reduce the pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Uveitis: Uveitis is an inflammation of the eye that can cause damage to the trabecular meshwork. Trabeculectomy can be used to reduce the inflammation and prevent further damage.
Trauma: Injury to the eye can damage the trabecular meshwork and cause increased pressure. Trabeculectomy can be used to reduce the pressure and prevent further damage.
Congenital Glaucoma: This condition is caused by the malformation of the trabecular meshwork. Trabeculectomy can be used to reduce the pressure and prevent further damage.
Excessive Scarring: Scarring of the trabecular meshwork can lead to increased eye pressure. Trabeculectomy can be used to reduce the pressure and prevent further damage.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
