Choroidal detachment (CD) occurred in 59% of patients after trabeculectomy. Marked hypotony and shallow anterior chamber (AC) were key indicators of CD risk.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Trabeculectomy is a common glaucoma surgery.
  • Choroidal detachment (CD) is a potential postoperative complication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of choroidal detachment (CD) following trabeculectomy.
  • To identify risk factors associated with CD development post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 17 patients undergoing trabeculectomy.
  • Ultrasonography used to diagnose CD.
  • Pachymetry and anterior chamber (AC) depth measurements taken.
  • Mean follow-up of 19 months.

Main Results:

  • Choroidal detachment (CD) diagnosed in 59% of patients.

  • 71% experienced marked hypotony (IOP ≤5 mm Hg).
  • 53% had shallow anterior chamber (AC) early post-operation.
  • Marked hypotony and >10% AC reduction were present in all CD cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Postoperative IOP alone does not predict CD risk.
    • Concomitant marked hypotony and significant AC shallowing are strong indicators for CD development.
