Trabectome (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Trabectome is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery for the surgical management of adult, juvenile and infantile glaucoma. Unlike a trabeculectomy, the surgery does not create an external filtering bleb or require leaving a permanent hole in the eye. Instead, the Trabectome electo-surgical handpiece opens access to the eyes natural drainage system. This procedure is performed through a small incision similar to that of cataract surgery and allows the patient to go home on the same day.
