[Intraoperative support of trabeculectomy with mitomycin].
The authors evaluated the efficacy of pharmacological support of trabeculectomy by intraoperative application of mitomycin. It was used in selected cases, those of high risk glaucoma as regards to poor surgical effect, in concentrations 0.2 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml. There were 32 eyes with following types of secondary glaucoma: neovascular glaucoma in diabetes, glaucoma in aphakic and pseudophakic eyes and simple glaucoma in the eyes after uneffective trabeculectomy. Normalization of the intraocular pressure was achieved in 21 eyes (65.6%). The 1.5-year follow-up revealed that with higher concentrations of mitomycin normalization of the pressure was more frequent lait there occurred more complications than with lower concentrations. Long-lasting hypotony is a difficult complication.
