    Trabeculectomy decisions were primarily based on high-risk, non-progressive glaucoma (82%). Early presentation and low pressures characterized the 18% of cases with preoperative deterioration. Indications were similar across centers.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Surgery

    Background:

    • Trabeculectomy is a common surgical procedure for glaucoma.
    • Understanding the indications for surgery is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the indications for trabeculectomy across multiple surgical centers.
    • To identify patterns in surgical decision-making for glaucoma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 220 trabeculectomy cases.
    • Data collected from six surgeons across three different centers.
    • Analysis of preoperative factors influencing surgical decisions.

    Main Results:

    • 82% of surgeries were indicated for high-risk, non-progressive glaucoma.

  • 18% of cases exhibited preoperative deterioration, associated with early presentation and low pressures.
  • Consistent patterns in surgical indications were observed across centers.

    • Conclusions:

    • The majority of trabeculectomies are performed electively in high-risk patients.
    • Preoperative deterioration, though less common, presents specific clinical characteristics.
    • Standardized indications for trabeculectomy appear to be utilized across different centers.
