The Perfect Trabeculectomy with Carla Siegfried, ep 36

Intro: In this episode, I talk with Carla Siegfried, Jacquelyn E. and Allan E. Kolker, MD Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology and Vice-Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Professionalism at Washington University School of Medicine, about the gold standard glaucoma surgical procedure: the trabeculectomy. We exchange detailed tips for success for each step of the surgery and post-operative care. It is clear from our discussion that we must continue to train others so that the trabeculectomy does not become a lost art. This is a procedure requiring no special devices and remains the gold standard for achieving low pressures despite its higher complication rate compared to other procedures. There are some audio issues with the recording of this episode that I've cleaned up as best I can. I'm Rob Schertzer, a Vancouver, Canada-based glaucoma specialist, podcaster and HealthIT expert, and we're...talking about glaucoma. Outro: Talking About Glaucoma is a podcast of indeterminate frequency and duration...recently averaging 4 episodes per year. I'm still hoping to get this out monthly in the future. It’s available for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, PocketCasts, Podcast Addict, and many other podcast services. Please rate the podcast on your podcast player of choice,
