Trabeculectomy surgery
The Trabeculectomy aims to create a permanent drainage outflow channel for the aqueous humor, connecting the anterior chamber to the sub-Tenon's space, using mitomycin C consisted of opening the conjunctival base of the fornix and applying mitomycin C 0.4 mg/ml for 2 minutes. The trabeculectomy techniques require controlled outflow of aqueous humor through a sclerostomy and a partial-thickness scleral flap to form a subconjunctival bleb. The protected strength of the flap, with or without sutures, and the strength of the episcleral tissue determine the final IOP.
