Clinical observation of amniotic membrane implantation inhibits filtering bleb scarring after glaucoma filtration surgery

Objective To observe amniotic membrane implantation inhibits filtering bleb scarring after glaucoma filtration surgery.Methods 68 glaucoma patients(103 eyes) were divided into therapeutic group(38 cases with 55 eyes) and control group(30 cases with 48 eyes),the therapeutic group was treated with trabeculectomy with membrane implantation,the control group was treated with trabeculectomy.The intraocular pressure,anterior chamber,filtering bleb and vision acuity were detected post-operations.Results The success rates of therapeutic group and control group were 94.55% and 66.67% respectively,the intraocular pressure decreased well and the filtering bleb scarring formation decreased,there was statistical significance(P 0.01) between the two group.Conclusion Trabeculectomy with amniotic membrane implantation can effectively reduce ophthalmotonus,prevent the formation of scar tissue of filtering bleb,promote the formation of functional filtering bubber.It is a useful and safe method for treating glaucoma.
