Summary

Mitomycin C-enhanced trabeculectomy effectively controlled intraocular pressure in complex glaucoma cases, including juvenile open-angle and secondary glaucomas. This surgical approach demonstrated success in challenging glaucoma patients where standard filtering surgery may falter.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Conventional filtering surgery for glaucoma has limited success in specific patient groups.
  • These challenging cases include juvenile open-angle glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, secondary glaucoma, angle recession glaucoma, aphakic/pseudophakic glaucoma, and eyes requiring reoperation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin C.
  • To assess surgical outcomes in patients with complex or previously failed glaucoma treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective evaluation of ten eyes from eight patients undergoing trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin C.
  • Patient cohort included diverse complex glaucoma types: juvenile open-angle, pseudophakic, reoperated, aphakic, and angle recession glaucoma.

Main Results:

  • Successful intraocular pressure (IOP) control was achieved in all ten eyes.
  • Preoperative IOP ranged from 28 to 50 mm Hg, with postoperative IOPs ranging from 7 to 16 mm Hg.
  • Postoperative complications were minimal.

Conclusions:

  • Trabeculectomy combined with intraoperative mitomycin C is an effective surgical option for complex glaucoma cases.
  • This technique offers successful IOP reduction and a favorable safety profile in challenging glaucoma populations.
