ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of short-term application of mitomycin C and releasable scleral flap sutures.METHODS:
The clinical outcome and complications were evaluated in 62 eyes undergone glaucoma triple procedure(Group A with mitomycin C and releasable suture, Group B with mitomycin C only, Group C with releasable suture only, Group D without mitomycin C and releasable suture).RESULTS:
The mean postoperative intraocular pressure was relatively lower in group A and B than that of group C and D(p=0.868). The most common complication was posterior capsular opacity, and other complications were cystoid macular edema, hypotony, choroidal detachment and bleb leakage.CONCLUSIONS:
The glaucoma triple procedure using mitomycin C and releasable suture could be recommended to be safe and effective on controlling the early postoperative and long-term intraocular pressure for treating the patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma, and the use of releasable suture could lower the incidence of postoperative complications such as hypotony.
