Filtering glaucoma surgery can be safely performed as an outpatient procedure with careful patient selection and surgical technique. Effective postoperative care is crucial for successful intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery
  • Outpatient Procedures

Background:

  • Glaucoma surgery requires more complex perioperative management than routine cataract surgery.
  • The feasibility of outpatient filtering glaucoma surgery remains a subject of debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient filtering glaucoma surgery.
  • To review outcomes of trabeculectomy and combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy (phakotrab) performed as outpatient procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 46 outpatient filtering glaucoma procedures (21 trabeculectomies, 25 phakotrab) over 3.5 years.
  • Analysis of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, medication use, and visual acuity.
  • Inclusion of perioperative management and postoperative care strategies.

Main Results:

  • Significant IOP reduction achieved in both trabeculectomy (23.3 to 12.7 mm Hg) and phakotrab (20.8 to 13.7 mm Hg) groups.
  • Most patients achieved target IOP without medication post-surgery.
  • Visual acuity remained good, with few complications such as hypotony or need for revision.

Conclusions:

  • Outpatient filtering glaucoma surgery is feasible with appropriate patient selection and surgical techniques.
  • Meticulous wound closure and postoperative care are essential for successful IOP management.
  • Refined surgical techniques and extended postoperative monitoring contribute to favorable outcomes.
