Mitomycin enhances trabeculectomy success rates in high-risk glaucoma patients. This study shows an 84% success rate, improving surgical outcomes for difficult cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Trabeculectomy is a standard glaucoma surgery.
  • Some cases have a poor prognosis despite standard procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate mitomycin's efficacy in improving trabeculectomy outcomes.
  • To assess success in high-risk glaucoma patients.

Main Methods:

  • Mitomycin was applied during standard trabeculectomy.
  • Success defined by target intraocular pressure, no disease progression, and minimal cataract-related vision loss.

Main Results:

  • An 84% overall success rate was achieved.
  • Follow-up ranged from 6 to 42 months.

Conclusions:
