Trabeculectomy Bleb Revision (Ab Externo)

Surgeon: Reza Razeghinejad, MD | Year: 2019

Dr. Razeghinejad revises a trabeculectomy bleb that is overhanging the cornea. If the overhanging portion is excised and the residual bleb is Seidel negative, then the procedure is finished. If the residual bleb leaks, then it must be revised by lysing subconjunctival scar tissue, opening the sclerostomy flap, placing new sutures, checking filtration flow, then closing healthy conjunctiva over the flap to form a new bleb.
