Trabeculectomy augmented with antimetabolites with a viscocanalostomy technique for the management of open angle glaucoma

Primary Viscocanalostomy versus Mitomycin-c Augmented Trabeculectomy in Patients with Open-angle Glaucoma: a Randomized Clinical Trial

A randomised, prospective study comparing trabeculectomy with viscocanalostomy with adjunctive antimetabolite usage for the management of open angle glaucoma uncontrolled by medical therapy.

AIMS To compare trabeculectomy with viscocanalostomy augmented with adjunctive antimetabolite use for the control of intraocular pressure (IOP) in open angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS 45 patients (50 eyes) with uncontrolled OAG were randomised to either trabeculectomy (25 eyes) or a viscocanalostomy technique (25 eyes). Preoperatively, all eyes were graded in terms of risk factors for drainage ...

Medical therapy versus trabeculectomy in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

PURPOSE To compare therapeutic outcomes between trabeculectomy and medical therapy in patients with open-angle glaucoma. METHODS In the present retrospective comparative study, the medical charts of 284 patients (eyes) newly diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma who had received conventional medications (n=188) or undergone fornix-based trabeculectomy (n=96) at a teaching eye hospital were revie...

Trabeculectomy in Nigerian patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Filtering procedures for glaucoma in Africans are considered to be failures owing to their propensity for increased fibrosis. However, favourable results from trabeculectomy in African patients with glaucoma are reported. Most of these are from such modifications of technique as non-suturing of flaps, sclerectomy, posterior lip cautery, or administration of high doses of steroids. In this study...

sutureless versus conventional trabeculectomy for management of primary open angle glaucoma

purpose : to assess the efficacy and safety of sutureless punch trabeculectomy as substitute for conventional scleral flap trabeculectomy. methods : in a prospective, randomized study, 44 eyes of 42 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (poag) who were candidate of trabeculectomy were included and randomly assigned into two groups sutureless punch trabeculectomy or conventional scleral flap...
