Hemorrhage post trabulectomy

by muggs6116, Apr 27, 2008 03:24PM

Two weeks post trabulectomy I had a conjunctival hemorrhagy. The blood seeped through the Trab flap into the inner eye. There is a clot over the flap and it is scarring over. Is it possible to surgically reopen the Trab flap? Can anything be done?

Yes. Yes. See your surgeon, ask your surgeon.
