[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 کاملFive-year results of 5-fluorouracil augmented needling revision of failing blebs.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To report the 5-year intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes of patients requiring a 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) needling revision compared to a matched sample. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty eyes receiving 5-FU bleb needling revision were matched to 40 patients not needled. IOP was recorded preoperatively and annually to 5 years. The main outcome measure was surgical success: IOP ...
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...
متن کاملEffectiveness 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 کاملThe relationship of bleb morphology and the outcome of needle revision with 5-fluorouracil in failing filtering bleb
To investigate the risk factors for failure of needling revision with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and to identify the correlation of outcomes of needling revision and the morphological features of dysfunctional filtration blebs using Moorfields bleb grading system.This retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative case-control study included 41 consecutive patients (41 eyes) who underwent 5-FU needling r...
