Abstract
Objective To review the early complications of trabeculectomy and the efficiency of the treatment in glaucoma patients undergoing trabeculectomy.Methods One hundred and ninety seven patients(211eyes)who performed trabeculectomy surgery in our hospital from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2006 were reviewed. The procedures include trabeculectomy only(103eyes)and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C(MMC)application (108eyes). The early complications were described and the mechanisms were analyzed. The treatments were also discussed.Results Most of the early complications were treated by medicines(50 eyes 92.59%). There was no significant difference between trabeculectomy group and trabeculectomy with MMC application group in the incidence of some early complications.Conclusion Most of the early complications may be effectively treated by medicine. Choose surgical procedures individually may reduce complications of trabeculectomy surgery.
