Ep 36 Talking About Glaucoma - 6Jun2022 SIEGFRIED Carla The Perfect Trabeculectomy (AAC)

Talking About Glaucoma (AAC)

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, subscribe to it, and tell your friends about it, so that it can reach more listeners and encourage me to continue to produce new episodes. Follow me at WestCoastGlaucoma on Instagram and Talking About Glaucoma on Facebook. Drop me a line at [e-mail] with your show ideas, if you would like to be on a future episode or questions you would like to have answered on future episodes. Keep informed to prevent needless loss of vision from glaucoma. See you next time on Talking About Glaucoma.

Production information:
This episode was recorded February 29, 2020 during the Annual Meeting of the American Glaucoma Society in Washington, DC, unfortunately using a BOYA Dual Lapel USB-C Microphone BY-M3D - which I do not recommend. Mixing was finally completed to salvage the recording on May 9, 2022 using Hindenberg Journalist Pro software iZotope processing plug-ins on a Gigabyte AERO 17 computer. The narration was overdubbed using a Heil PR40 microphone through an SSL 2 USB Audio Interface onJune 6, 2022.
The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and are not intended to be taken as the standard of care for glaucoma treatment. Please always weigh the complete clinical picture and involve patients with any decisions in their care.
