ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the results of primary trabeculectomy with mitomycinmitomycin C (MMC) for medically uncontrolled, primary angle-closure glaucoma.METHODS:
A retrospective study of 20 eyes from 18 consecutive patients with medically uncontrolled primary angle-closure glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy with MMC, from 1997 to 2000.RESULTS:
The mean follow up was 33.9 +/- 12.9 months (range 24~60). After trabeculectomy with MMC, IOP remained below 22 mmHg in 17 eyes (85%) with or without medication. Postoperative complications occurred in 5 eyes (25%).CONCLUSIONS:
Trabeculectomy with MMC resulted in favorable long-term IOP control and relatively low complications in medically unresponsive acute angle-closure glaucoma.
