Trabeculectomy is the procedure that aims to create a new way to evacuate aqueous humor by removing a small segment of trabeculum. Pipe laying is frequent. The tube directs the aqueous humor into a reservoir behind the eye. About 80% of people who undergo this surgery no longer need eye drops afterward.
Other types of surgery are being tested. Eventually, they could replace trabeculectomy. However, it will take several more years before their effectiveness can be determined. Examples include canalostomy, Ex-Press®, canaloplasty, gold implant, Glaukos iStent® and trabeculotome.
It should be noted that all glaucoma treatments increase the risk of developing cataracts, especially surgical treatments.
An antibiotic prescription may be prescribed after the procedure to help prevent certain disorders.
Any surgical procedure involves risks, complications can be minor, hemorrhagic, inflammatory or professional.
