Trabeculectomy Bleb Revision (Ab Externo)

Surgeon: Reza Razeghinejad, MD | Year: 2019

Dr. Razeghinejad performs an ab externo bleb revision for an avascular, Seidel-positive bleb. Subconjunctival anesthesia is injected. The avascular bleb is excised, then the adjacent healthy conjunctiva is mobilized and approximated to the limbus to form the new bleb. The conjunctiva is closed with running Vicryl sutures along the sides and mattress sutures along the limbal edge.
