Trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin-C effectively lowers intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients with ocular inflammation. However, this glaucoma treatment carries a significant risk of complications, requiring careful patient monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Glaucoma associated with ocular inflammation presents unique management challenges.
  • Intraoperative mitomycin-C is utilized in glaucoma surgery to enhance filtration and reduce intraocular pressure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative mitomycin-C during trabeculectomy for glaucoma in patients with concurrent ocular inflammation.
  • To assess the long-term intraocular pressure control and complication rates in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 24 patients (24 eyes) diagnosed with glaucoma and ocular inflammation.
  • Patients underwent trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin-C and were followed for at least 6 months.
  • Data collected included intraocular pressure, visual acuity, need for medication, and surgical complications.

Main Results:

  • 75% of patients achieved an intraocular pressure of 21 mm Hg or lower (mean 13.4 mm Hg) with or without medication after a mean follow-up of 14.6 months.
  • 62% of patients achieved target intraocular pressure without medication.
  • Complications included retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, and vision loss in a subset of patients; 3 required tube shunt surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Trabeculectomy combined with intraoperative mitomycin-C is a viable option for managing intraocular pressure in inflammatory glaucoma.
  • Despite its efficacy, the procedure is associated with a notable frequency of sight-threatening complications.
