[hoomer]

Hi, im goinf to start very soon to do Glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy and combined glaucoma and cataract surgery) and i was wondering what the best books were i can learn the techniques and look out for the usual pitfalls.
There are alot of these kind of books for phacoemulsification but not so much for other kinds of surgery.
Thanks alot.

There's going to be a Master Techniques in Surgery book published soon that covers these surgeries. You can also check out Dr. Kwon's DVD that will walk you through the steps and show you surgery.

Do a web search for some of the video files of surgery done at Moorfields by Dr. Peng Khaw. He does nice trab operations. Videos really will get you better prepared for the OR than an atlas (and if you need one, look for the latest edition of Shields' Glaucoma.)
