摘要
Background/Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) secondary to emulsified silicone oil (SO) after pars plana vitrectomy. Methods: A single-center, prospective study was conducted, from December 2014 to December 2019, on 56 consecutive patients with an uncontrolled elevation of IOP after SO removal. The primary end-point was the IOP at the three-years follow-up visit. Complete surgical success was defined as an IOP ranging from 7 mmHg to 18 mmHg without glaucoma medication. Qualified success was defined as IOP ? 21 mmHg with one or two topical medications. Results: Fifty-six patients with mean (standard deviation) age of 56.6 (13.1) years had a mean baseline IOP of 42.3 (39.3 to 45.3) mmHg, which reduced to 18.6 (17.9 to 19.3) mmHg at 3 years after surgery (P < 0.0001). 17 (30.4%) eyes were classified as complete success, 21 (37,5%) as qualified success, and 18 (32.1%) as failure. In all treated patients, the number of antiglaucoma medications was significantly reduced from 2.85 (0.77) to 1.63 (0.62), p<0.0001. Conclusion: Trabeculectomy with MMC may be an option for lowering IOP in patients with OAG secondary to emulsified SO which was not controlled with maximum antiglaucomatous medical treatment.
