title: [Modulation of wound healing in glaucoma filtration surgery].
abstract: Authors evaluate application of mitomycin C (0.2-0.4 mg/ml) on the sclera during glaucoma filtering surgery. Mean follow up was 19.5 months in the group of 67 patients (75 eyes). The most serious complication was an early endophthalmitis in 2 cases with the loss of residual visual field and vision, 1x hemophthalmus followed with development of traction retinal detachment, 1x hypotonic maculopathy, 1x traction retinal detachment for progression of diabetic proliferative vitreoretinopathy of neovascular glaucoma. Higher rate of complications was noted in the group of mitomycin C 0.4 mg/ml. Visual acuity was better one line Snellen optotypes in 3 cases, and worse in 26 cases. Intraocular pressure compensation up to 20 mmHg was reached in 32 cases without therapy (45.1%), in 28 cases therapy (39.6%), Intraocular pressure above 20 mm Hg was in 11 cases (15.4) and the data are not known in 4 cases (5.4%). Intraocular pressure was compensated after mitomycin C application in 84.7%.
