• The retrospective cohort study examined 82 eyes (58 phakic and 24 pseudophakic) of 82 patients who underwent trabeculectomy between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017 with up to 2 years follow-up. (ophthalmologyadvisor.com)
  • A previous clear-cornea phacoemulsification surgery does not cause a statistically significant differences in trabeculectomy failure rate in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG), but there were some clinically relevant differences between phakic and pseudophakic eyes, according to a study published in Clinical Ophthalmology .

  • Surgical management of all types of Glaucomas including, Trabeculectomy with or without antimetabolites, Non penetrating surgeries like Deep Sclerectomy , Trabeculotomy, and surgeries for advanced glaucomas including Ahmed Glaucoma Implant, and Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation.

  • Antimetabolites are used during surgery to reduce postoperative scarring during wound healing. (raiseupwa.com)
  • Our treatment paradigm for glaucoma runs the spectrum from drops to lasers to more aggressive and higher-risk surgeries such as trabeculectomy and tube shunts. (crstoday.com)
  • 5- Treatment: I will book the patient in the operation list for trabeculectomy, I will consider antimetabolit (eg: mitimycine to increase the success rate of the operation. (mrcophth.com)
  • 1- Introduction: from the clinical picture given the patient is suffering from congenital glaucoma with failed trabeculectomy and I will consider another trabeculectomy augmented with antimetabolite. (mrcophth.com)
  • At the very beginning of the pathology development, trabeculoplasty provides a good effect, but during the next 5 years the patient may need to organize trabeculectomy. (womensecr.com)
  • Risks include perforation of the trabeculo-Descemet window, potentially necessitating conversion to trabeculectomy. (crstoday.com)
  • Furthermore, another limitation of our study is the heterogeneity regarding the use of adjuvant antimetabolite [5-FU use in 52 (90%) eyes in the phakic group and 18 eyes (75%) in the pseudophakic group]. (ophthalmologyadvisor.com)
