The influence of mitomycin C concentration on the outcome of trabeculectomy in uveitic glaucoma
International ophthalmology(2017)
摘要
Purpose To evaluate the influence of mitomycin C (MMC) concentration on the outcome of trabeculectomy in uveitic glaucoma. Methods Retrospective comparative study included 50 patients who underwent MMC-enhanced trabeculectomy for uncontrolled uveitic glaucoma. Patients were divided into two groups based on the concentration of MMC used during trabeculectomy (high [0.04%] or low [0.02%]). The main outcome measures were: the intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of antiglaucoma medications, the need for further glaucoma surgeries, and trabeculectomy success. Results There were no differences in the IOP nor antiglaucoma medications. The success rates were 76.0 and 68.0%, while the failure rates were 24.0 and 32.0% in the 0.02 and 0.04% MMC groups, respectively. Conclusion Trabeculectomy augmented with low (0.02%) MMC concentration seems to have comparable outcomes in uveitic glaucoma compared with high (0.04%) concentration.
