Description

Estimated cost for Trabeculectomy at general public hospitals in China is about ¥8400-28000, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥12000-35000, varying by hospital tier and region.

Main Uses

Primary clinical use is surgical management of refractory open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma unresponsive to laser iridotomy, and select cases of secondary glaucomas (e.g., uveitic, neovascular) when medical and laser therapies fail. It aims to create a controlled aqueous outflow pathway to lower intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage.

Normal Range

Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure, not a laboratory or diagnostic test with numerical values; therefore, there is no 'normal range' of quantitative measurements. Postoperative success is assessed clinically via intraocular pressure (IOP) targets (typically 6–18 mmHg), absence of progressive optic nerve damage, stable visual fields, and functional bleb morphology — not standardized lab values.

Low Values - Possible Causes

N/A — Trabeculectomy is not a measurable test yielding low/high numerical results. However, postoperative IOP <5 mmHg (hypotony) may result from overfiltration, wound leak, choroidal effusion, or excessive antifibrotic use (e.g., mitomycin C).

High Values - Possible Causes

N/A — Trabeculectomy itself has no 'high values', but elevated postoperative IOP (>21 mmHg) may indicate surgical failure due to scarring (fibrosis), bleb encapsulation, inadequate filtration, retained lens material, or pre-existing aggressive glaucoma progression.
