Abstract
Introduction: Glaucoma is a progressive and chronic optic neuropathy being the second cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Several approaches are used to try to avoid this course, being the Trabeculectomy the surgical choice in the adult patient.
Objetive: To analyze a cohort of patients that had trabeculectomy between 2005 and 2011 in San Ignacio’s University Hospital.
Conclusion: Although is a small cohort of patients it enables us to confirm that this surgery is a good choice in the control of the intraocular pressure in order to avoid further damage to the optic nerve.
