Glaucoma Surgery (Trabeculectomy) in Telangana

Types of Glaucoma Surgery (Trabeculectomy)

Standard trabeculectomy creates a small flap in the eye's outer wall (sclera) to let fluid drain into a controlled space under the conjunctiva, forming a "bleb" that regulates pressure. Modern refinements include using anti-scarring agents like mitomycin-C during surgery to keep the new drainage channel from closing, and adjustable or releasable sutures that let the surgeon fine-tune drainage in the days after surgery.
