Abstract
To evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of mitomycin C (MMC)-augmented trabeculectomy undertaken within the first 2 years of life for the surgical management of glaucoma. Retrospective, consecutive, noncomparative case series. All children who underwent MMC-augmented trabeculectomy within 2 years of birth between May 2002 and November 2012. The medical records of 40 consecutive eyes of 26 children who underwent surgery by a single surgeon were reviewed. Data collected during routine clinical care were analyzed. Assessment of clinical outcomes included intraocular pressure (IOP), final visual acuity, bleb morphology, surgical complications (early and late), postoperative interventions, and further glaucoma surgery performed. Surgical success was defined as final IOP of 5 mmHg or more and of 21 mmHg or less, with anti-glaucoma medications (qualified success) and without (complete success), stable ocular dimensions and optic disc cupping, and no further glaucoma surgery (including needling) or loss of light perception. Surgical outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier life table analysis. Forty eyes of 26 children were studied over a mean follow-up period of 62.8 months. Most cases (80%) were of primary congenital gla...Continue Reading
