title: [Initial experience with the use of mitomycin C in anti-glaucoma filtering surgery].
abstract: The authors report on their initial experience with the use of peroperative administration of mitomycin C (0.5 mg/ml for a period of 5 mins.) in complicated cases of glaucoma. In 14 eyes of 15 with a mean observation period of 8 months compensation of the intraocular pressure was achieved. In one eye 5 months after a filtering operation transplantation of the cornea was performed with secondary implantation of the posterior-chamber intraocular lens, decompensation of the intraocular pressure was treated 11 months after the filtering operation by cyclocryotherapy. Mitomycin C is a promising substance which improves substantially the prognosis of complicated cases of glaucoma.
