[Trabeculectomy combined with mitomycin C and removed suture in glaucoma].

PURPOSE: To study the clinical effect of trabeculectomy combined with Mitomycin C and removed suture. METHODS: Seventy-five patients (99 eyes) with glaucoma were randomized into two groups: a controlled group underwent normal trabeculectomy, an observed group with trabeculectomy. The intraocular pressure (IOP), the anterior chamber depth, the filtering blebs, the visual acuity and other ocular complications were measured and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative low IOP, shallow anterior chamber, the visual acuity loss and other complications in the observed group were less than those in the controlled group. CONCLUSION: Trabeculectomy could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complication by controlling the amount of aqua oculi outflowing. It is worthy of application in glaucoma surgical operation.
