Trabeculectomy is a gold standard filtration procedure in the management of glaucoma. However, small incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy combined surgical for coexisting glaucoma and cataract. The final success rate related to minimizing intraocular pressure (IOP) depends on follow-up duration assessment criteria. This study was aimed evaluate long term control morphology bleb cases u...

PURPOSE To compare changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), axial eye length (AEL), and refractive outcome in primary open-angle glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery and trabeculectomy in dependence of the sequence of surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 48 eyes. The changes in refraction, intraocular pressure, and axial eye length were analysed after surgery. I...

purpose: to determine the effect of trabeculectomy (tx) on cataract formation or progression in glaucoma patients. methods: this controlled clinical trial was performed on 82 eyes of 41 consecutive patients older than 50 years with glaucoma. trabeculectomy was indicated only in one of their eyes and iop in the other eye was controlled with medication. the operated eyes were considered as treatm...

BACKGROUND The outcome of glaucoma surgery can be affected by the rate at which the surgical wound heals. Beta radiation has been proposed as a rapid and simple treatment to slow down the healing response. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of beta radiation during glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy). SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)...

Revision trabeculectomy is used to describe any surgical intervention subsequent to an existing trabeculectomy. Mostly, it is used to describe resurgery for failure of trabeculectomy, as defined by inadequate pressure control. Revision may also be performed for unsafe, uncomfortable or leaking blebs. Mostly bleb failure occurs within the subconjunctival space, although the flap and ostium may b...

We assess the efficacy and safety of canaloplasty and trabeculectomy for treatment of glaucoma. We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Web of Science, and WanFang databases for potentially eligible studies. Pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using random- or fixed-effect models if appropriate. Eight studies were included for meta-an...

PURPOSE To compare the 1-year outcome of trabeculectomy and combined phaco-trabeculectomy that were performed with or without a peripheral iridectomy (PI). METHODS In a large tertiary glaucoma clinic, with a single surgeon performing all surgeries, 47 patients scheduled to undergo either a primary trabeculectomy or phaco-trabeculectomy were prospectively randomized to surgery with or without ...

PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative outcomes and success after combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma surgery with Ex-PRESS miniature implant compared with combined surgery with standard trabeculectomy. METHODS In this prospective series of 40 consecutive eyes we compared 20 eyes in 17 patients treated with combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma filtering surgery with the Ex-PRESS miniatu...

BACKGROUND/AIM Current evidence suggests that vascular insufficiencies in the optic nerve head play an important part in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Trabeculectomy is the most common operative procedure for the treatment of medically uncontrolled glaucoma. This study was conducted to investigate whether trabeculectomy may improve ocular haemodynamics. METHODS 30 patient...

INTRODUCTION Mitomycin C is gaining widespread popularity as an adjunctive with trabeculectomy, as it significantly increases the success rate of the procedure. But it is associated with serious sight-threatening complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty eyes planned for trabeculectomy from the glaucoma clinic were enrolled for the study after obtaining an informed consent. The baseline imp...
