Ep 36 Talking About Glaucoma - 6Jun2022 SIEGFRIED Carla The Perfect Trabeculectomy (AAC)

In this episode, I talk with Carla Siegfried, Jacquelyn E. and Allan E. Kolker, MD Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology and Vice-Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Professionalism at Washington University School of Medicine, about the gold standard glaucoma surgical procedure: the trabeculectomy. We exchange detailed tips for success for each step of the surgery and post-operative care. It is clear from our discussion that we must continue to train others so that the trabeculectomy does not become a lost art.

In this episode, Dr Solish and I discuss the art of “needling” a filtering bleb, or as he likes to call it, a Slit Lamp Revision (SLR), to resuscitate its function. Beginning with the history of when he first thought of the idea as a resident and it was shot down and how this evolved to using antimetabolites in conjunction with the needling in order to discourage fibroblasts from forming more scar tissue from the procedure. You might be surprised to learn what types of blebs are more likely to improve with Slit Lamp Revision!Read More
