Effectiveness of Needling Revision with Mitomycin-C for Failing Blebs
Filtering procedures remain the most popular surgical option for controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) in medically refractory glaucoma. Incorporation of adjunctive anti fibrotic treatment has enhanced IOP control and prolonged filtering efficacy [1-3], but for various reasons some blebs are prone to failure many months or years later. Sometimes that failure may take the form of hyperfiltratio...
متن کامل[Mitomycin C versus 5-FU in failing blebs needling].
Please allow me to express my congratulations to the team led by Dr. Esperanza Gutiérrez for the results obtained in the recently published article titled «Repermeabilization through revision with filtration bleb needling with late failure after glaucoma surgery» (1). Although the results are obtained from a retrospective study, with the limitations this may entail, they achieve a high success ...
متن کاملNeedling revision with subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering blebs.
BACKGROUND 5-Fluorouracil, an antimetabolic agent, improves the success rate of trabeculectomies by inhibiting subconjunctival fibrosis. However, complications may be associated with early postoperative use. We investigated the outcome of needling revision with delayed subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering blebs after a trabeculectomy in patients with medically poorly controlled g...

MMC when applied topically or injected subconjunctivally, prevents proliferation of fibroblasts within the subconjunctival space and tenon’s capsule. It also has a lethal effect on vascular endothelial cells. A single application of MMC can cause localized, irreversible inhibition of both fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. MMC is estimated to be 100 times more potent than 5-FU in fibro...
متن کاملNeedle Revision of Failed Drainage Blebs with Mitomycin-C
.................................. Purpose: To assess the outcome of needle revision of failed drainage blebs with regard to decrease in Intraocular pressure (IOP) of < 20 mmHg over mean follow up of 1 year and to observe the complication associated with the procedure. Material and Methods: This non-comparative, interventional case series of 46 eyes (46 patients) with IOP of > 25 mmHg after tra...
