    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Glaucoma management often requires surgical intervention.
    • Trabeculectomy is a common surgical procedure for lowering intraocular pressure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy.
    • To assess the success rate and complication profile of trabeculectomy in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 31 trabeculectomy procedures performed on 25 patients over a one-year period.
    • Procedures were performed for various types of glaucoma, including chronic open-angle glaucoma and congenital glaucoma.

    Main Results:

    • An overall success rate of 87% was achieved.
    • The majority of procedures (87%) were for chronic open-angle glaucoma.
