Deep sclerectomy with mitomycin C in failed trabeculectomy

Combined cataract and glaucoma surgery with mitomycin C: phacoemulsification-trabeculectomy compared to phacoemulsification-deep sclerectomy.

AIMS To compare outcomes of phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy (PT) or deep sclerectomy (PDS) with intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) application. METHODS Non-randomised, consecutive, retrospective comparative study. 97 eyes of 97 patients (59 PDS, 38 PT) undergoing combined surgery with intraoperative MMC (0.1-0.4 mg/ml for 1-3 minutes) were identified for inclusion in the study....

Trabeculectomy - Guided Deep Sclerectomy . a Novel Technique

Comparison between phaco-deep sclerectomy converted into phaco-trabeculectomy and uneventful phaco-deep sclerectomy.

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the results and complications of eyes that underwent a phaco-deep sclerectomy (DS) converted into phaco-trabeculectomy due to an intraoperative macroperforation with eyes undergoing uneventful phaco-DS. METHODS The authors reviewed 106 eyes having a planned phaco-DS; 10 of them (9.4%) had to be converted into phaco-trabeculectomy because of a large perforation ...

Trabeculectomy or modified deep sclerectomy in juvenile uveitic glaucoma

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of trabeculectomies (TE) and modified deep sclerectomies (mdS) in a group of patients with juvenile uveitic secondary glaucoma. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 16 TE and eight mdS. RESULTS Postoperatively, an IOP reduction to 11.6 ± 4.7 mmHg was achieved in the TE group and to 18.5 ± 11.4 mmHg in the mdS group (p =...

Trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in glaucoma associated with uveitis.

Twenty-four trabeculectomies performed in 24 patients for control of uveitic glaucoma were retrospectively evaluated to analyze the effect of intraoperative application of mitomycin C (MMC) on the short-term outcome of trabeculectomy for glaucoma associated with uveitis. Success rates, postoperative levels of intraocular pressure (IOP), and complications were studied. After a mean follow up of ...
