Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery

Background:

  • Trabeculectomy with mitomycin C is a common glaucoma surgery.
  • Tenon's cysts (TCs) can develop postoperatively, potentially impacting intraocular pressure (IOP) control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and risk factors of Tenon's cysts after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
  • To analyze the clinical course and management of patients with TCs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 100 eyes following trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, surgical history, preoperative factors, and postoperative outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of Tenon's cysts was 29% (29/100 eyes).
  • Male gender was a significant risk factor for TC development.
  • TCs generally led to lower final IOP, but some cases required further intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Tenon's cysts are a relatively common complication after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
  • Male patients are at higher risk.
  • While TCs can affect IOP control, many cases have favorable long-term outcomes with appropriate management.
