Abstract Background We aimed to compare the outcomes of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and those followed by phacoemulsification. Methods A total 141 patients primary open-angle glaucoma, exfoliation glaucoma secondary uveitis who underwent ( n = 48) or 93) were included. analyzed data collected from Collaborative Bleb-Related Infection Incidence Treatment Study, a prospective...

Purpose: To determine the success of combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy with application Mitomycin C in primary congenital glaucoma. Study Design: Interventional case series. Place Duration Study: Mughal eye hospital Lahore from January 2018 to December 2019. Methods: Twenty-four patients glaucoma were included. Secondary corneal haze excluded. Corneal diameter above 11.5, 12.5 13 mm (wh...

PURPOSE To investigate whether specific glaucoma surgeries are associated with differences in aqueous humor protein concentrations compared to eyes without filters. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, aqueous humor samples were prospectively collected from control subjects who underwent routine cataract surgery (n=14) and from patients who had different glaucoma filters: Baerveldt aqueous ...

PURPOSE Compare the efficacy and safety profile of viscocanalostomy versus trabeculectomy in uncontrolled glaucoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS We looked through various search engines for randomized controlled trials directly comparing viscocanalostomy with trabeculectomy. Outcome measurements we examined were mean intraocular pressure difference at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months, mean differen...

AIM To describe a novel technique to treat hypotony and shallow anterior chamber following trabeculectomy METHODS Three patients who underwent fornix based trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) presented in the postoperative days with a shallow anterior chamber, hypotony, and overfiltrating blebs. They were treated with an injection of 0.2 ml of 16% perfluoropropane (C(3)F(8)) to the anterior...

PURPOSE To evaluate the postoperative changes in blebs and levels of aqueous monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) after trabeculectomy vs. Ex-PRESS tube shunt surgery. METHODS Rabbits were subjected to trabeculectomy or Ex-PRESS tube shunt surgery and observed for up to 3 months. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using a rebound tonometer. The MCP-1 level was measured by enzyme-linked...

PURPOSE To report the outcomes of trabeculectomy with adjunctive 5-Fluorouracil (5- FU) at a Nigerian tertiary hospital. METHODS In this prospective study, all patients with glaucoma undergoing trabeculectomy with 5-FU at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, from June 2009 to May2010 were enrolled. Each patient had a complete ophthalmic evaluation. Intraocular pressure (IOP), vis...

AIMS To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of nonpenetrating filtering surgery in the treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma. METHODS Pertinent studies were selected by extensive searches. A total of 17 randomized controlled trials were included in the present meta-analysis. The main outcome measures were risk differences (RDs) of complete success for efficacy and postoperative co...

BACKGROUND Trabeculectomy is frequently performed in patients with glaucoma who are deteriorating, although its effects on rates of visual field (VF) progression are not fully understood. We studied the rate of VF progression post trabeculectomy comparing with medically treated patients matched for VF loss. METHODS Medical records of patients who underwent trabeculectomy alone or combined wit...
