Abstract

While treatment options available to patients with glaucoma are expanding, trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device implantation (GDI) remain a mainstay in glaucoma surgical care. This article reviews key aspects of bleb management following trabeculectomy and GDI surgery. Basics of postoperative management of trabeculectomy and GDIs are reviewed, as well as how to manage complications such as early and late bleb leaks, fibrosis, bleb dysesthesia and the hypertensive phase. In general, careful surgical technique, close postoperative monitoring and appropriate intervention can help patients achieve safe outcomes and long-term control of intraocular pressure.
