    Trabeculectomy outcomes depend on conjunctival flap technique. A traditional flap method, compared to newer ones, better supports filtration and lowers eye pressure in glaucoma patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Trabeculectomy is a key surgical procedure for managing glaucoma.
    • Conjunctival flap formation is crucial for the success of trabeculectomy.
    • Optimizing flap techniques can improve surgical outcomes and reduce intraocular pressure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of different conjunctival flap formation methods on trabeculectomy outcomes.
    • To assess the influence of flap technique on filtration cushion development.
    • To compare the hypotensive effect of various flap methods in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Trabeculectomy was performed on 83 eyes of 80 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
    • Four distinct conjunctival flap formation techniques were employed.

  • Outcomes analyzed included filtration cushion formation and intraocular pressure reduction.

    • Main Results:

    • The traditional conjunctival flap method (limbal-based) demonstrated superior filtration cushion formation compared to fornix-based and radial flaps.
    • This traditional technique resulted in a stable hypotensive effect in 87.5% of cases.
    • Non-traditional flap methods showed less optimal filtration and hypotensive outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The method of conjunctival flap formation significantly influences trabeculectomy success.
    • A traditional limbal-based flap technique is recommended for optimal filtration cushion development and sustained intraocular pressure reduction in glaucoma surgery.
