Trabeculectomy Skills Workshop - 2 June 2021 (Webinar)
The two principle aims of this workshop is to teach trainees how to create a scleral flap and how to place an adjustable / releasable suture in the scleral flap. Trainees will commence the workshop practicing scleral flap creation on an apple before moving on to model eyes. They will then use the model eyes to practice placement of adjustable/ releasable sutures, which are one of the cornerstones of safe trabeculectomy surgery. Trainees will require access to a bench top or operating microscope which can be linked to a phone, tablet or laptop. Videos of such set-ups will be available on the College section of the Simulation Gallery.
This webinar is open to ST3 and above trainees.
The video below will give you an overview of what the webinar will cover.
