Just to confirm for any other readers, Glaucoma is common in Asian and 'Black' ethnic groups (sorry, I hate the word 'black'). And also more common in family history.

No CL Monk, glaucoma is common in people of African origin. Asians do not have an higher incidence than the so-called whites, arabic or indian populations.

AWFUL SURGERY! Try using a trabeculectomy punch rather than making such a huge hole in the eye! Work on higher magnifications, use adjustable removabe surure etc etc. Look at Prof Khaw's website for the real McCoy!
this is plain trabeculectomy whereas deep sclerectomy (which was posted in your video) would require another and deeper layer of scleral dissection aside from the routine more anterior dissection.

you are right, it is just a plain TRAB. Just read the title which says so.

peribulber anesthesia will increase IOP so, Trabeculectomy usually don under general anesthesia...

In the asian & south east asian countries nobody does a Trab under GA. Infact if a good peribulbar is given along with a good massage the IOP comes down a bit because of 1. massage 2. relaxation of the extraocular muscles. 3. relaxation of the Orbicularis Oculi muscles. Even in cataract extraction, a peribulbar if combined with hylase will reduce the IOP considerably after ocular massage...
