Is the success rate of trabeculectomy high

summary

You may not know what kind of treatment trabeculectomy is. In fact, it is the main way to treat glaucoma. Therefore, we need to know more about the most basic knowledge. Let's talk about the success rate of trabeculectomy.

Is the success rate of trabeculectomy high

First, drugs and laser therapy can not prevent all kinds of glaucoma with progressive optic nerve injury and visual field defect. Due to the improvement of surgical techniques and the application of antimetabolic drugs, the intraocular pressure level after trabeculectomy can be similar to that after full-thickness scleral filtration, so now trabeculectomy can be applied to almost all glaucoma patients who need to undergo extraocular filtration.

Second, the preoperative medication should be adjusted, and baomuming propine or 1% epinephrine, anticholinesterase inhibitors such as iodophosphatidine and youmosuo should be stopped for two weeks, so as to reduce vascular congestion and intraoperative bleeding. After stopping carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and β - adrenergic blocker for 2-3 days, the formation of aqueous humor was in a normal state, which was conducive to the formation of filtering bleb.

Third: antibiotic eyedrops such as 0.3% tobramycin and gentamicin eyedrops may stimulate bulbar conjunctiva and cause bulbar conjunctival congestion 3 days before operation, so avoid using them as far as possible. One day before operation, 1% prednisolone could be given 4 times a day. If the patient has not used pilocarpine, 1-2 times an hour before operation.

matters needing attention

In general, the success rate of trabeculectomy is still very high, and you can rest assured that with the continuous progress of medicine, all medical means are also in constant progress, and many operations will become better and better, so you can rest assured.
