To evaluate the outcomes of initial trabeculectomy in granulomatous and non-granulomatous uveitis. Retrospective comparative study 68 eyes that underwent an trabeculectomy. The mean follow-up was 74.18 74.86 months both groups (p = 0.95). intraocular pressure decreased from 40.03 mmHg ( ± 7.2) 36.48 11.3) to 14.00 6.2) 13.48 5.7), number medications 3.73 0.7) 3.58 0.9) 1.00 1.4) 1.13 on last < ...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether phacoemulsification after trabeculectomy affects postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). SETTING Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS The medical records of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or exfoliation glaucoma who had trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C were reviewed. The primary endpoints were condition A (persistent po...

AIM To evaluate the outcomes of trabeculectomy with large area mitomycin-C (MMC) application as a first line treatment in advanced glaucoma. METHODS The records of 55 patients with severe visual field defects undergoing trabeculectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified as first-line therapy to either early trabeculectomy (initial trabeculectomy-Group 1) or long term m...

This paper aimed to assess the outcome of primary trabeculectomy for congenital glaucoma and to compare it with a combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy procedure. The combined procedure was assessed using a prospective trial for children with primary glaucoma under the age of 1 year (n = 16). The primary trabeculectomy was assessed retrospectively using similar patients treated at the same hosp...

The reported success rates in the treatment of congenital glaucoma with goniotomy, trabeculotomy, and trabeculectomy suggest that trabeculectomy should be performed if the other procedures fail. We propose that the decision to perform primary trabeculectomy in primary and secondary congenital glaucoma reduces the effect which the many variable findings in surgical anatomy may have on the outcom...

Trabeculectomy has been the traditional primary surgical therapy for open-angle glaucoma. While trabeculectomy is effective in lowering intraocular pressure, complications associated with the procedure have motivated the development of alternative techniques and devices, including the EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device. This review describes the efficacy, safety, complication rates, and potent...

PURPOSE To report one-year results of the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy (TVT) Study. DESIGN Multicenter randomized clinical trial. METHODS SETTING 17 Clinical Centers. STUDY POPULATION Patients 18 to 85 years of age who had previous trabeculectomy and/or cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and uncontrolled glaucoma with intraocular pressure (IOP) > or =18 mm Hg and < or...

PURPOSE To compare changes in corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) after Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation and trabeculectomy. METHODS Changes in corneal endothelium in patients that underwent AGV implantation or trabeculectomy were prospectively evaluated. Corneal specular microscopy was performed at the central cornea using a non-contact specular microscope before surgery and 6 mon...

purpose: to compare the outcomes and complications of mitomycin-c (mmc) trabeculectomy and ahmed glaucoma implant (agi) for treatment of aphakic glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery in children £ 16 years of age. methods: in a randomized clinical trial, eligible children were randomly assigned to mmc trabeculectomy or agi. aphakia was due to previous anterior lensectomy and vitrectomy...
