title: [Clinical research of trabeculectomy on outpatients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the feasibility of Trabeculectomy on outpatients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Postspectively compared and discussed the surgery effect and complications of trabeculectomy on 38 eyes of 27 outpatients with those on 38 eyes of 30 inpatients. All the surgeries were performed by the same surgeon in the same period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The IOP of outpatients' group after one week, one month, three months or more are respectively 1.4800 +/- 0.5977 kPa, 1.8379 +/- 0.5517 kPa, 1.9650 +/- 0.4879 kPa, while the inpatients' group are 1.3468 +/- 0.5994 kPa, 1.7737 +/- 0.5177 kPa, 2.0144 +/- 0.5447 kPa. t-test has shown that the differences of the IOP after the surgery, the surgery effect and complications of trabeculectomy between the outpatients and the inpatients had no significance.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Trabeculectomy on outpatients in hospital with satisfied facility would be effective, safe and feasible.
