    Conventional glaucoma surgery remains essential as laser trabeculoplasty indications are still evolving. Scleral flap techniques reduce some complications but new ones like hypotony and choroidal detachment can still occur.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Laser trabeculoplasty's long-term efficacy and limitations are not fully established.
    • Conventional surgical filtration remains a crucial glaucoma treatment option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the reduction in complications associated with the scleral flap technique in glaucoma surgery.
    • To highlight persistent and novel complications following scleral flap procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of complications associated with scleral flap glaucoma surgery (goniotrephination, trabeculectomy).
    • Discussion of intraoperative techniques to mitigate risks, including scleral flap tension and perfusion testing.

    Main Results:

    • Scleral flap techniques have reduced certain complications but issues like cicatricial obliteration, hypotony, external fistulas, and ciliary body-choroid detachment persist.

  • A rare complication (1.5%) of membrane formation leading to a 'pseudofiltering bleb' is noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite advancements, careful surgical technique, including appropriate scleral flap tension and perfusion testing, is vital to minimize complications.
    • Glaucoma filtration surgery with scleral flaps requires ongoing vigilance for both known and emerging adverse events.
