title: [The clinical analysis of shallow anterior chamber after complex trabeculectomy surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical cause, therapy and prognosis of shallow anterior chamber after complex trabeculectomy surgery of glaucoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective study of 267 patients (302 eyes) diagnosed with glaucoma at our hospital were reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Forty-three among 302 eyes presented shallow anterior chamber（14.24%）.The main causes of shallow anterior chamber after surgery included excessive filtering function, conjunctival exudation, choroidal detachment and ciliary circle block. These patients recovered after receiving conservative or surgical treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The shallow anterior chamber is a complication frequently occurring following complex trabeculectomy surgery. The occurrence of this complication may be decreased by controlling filterableness and moderately applying mitomycin C intraoperatively; The prognosis may be significantly enhanced by detecting main measurements including anterior chamber, intraocular tension, filtration condition,and by interfering in shallow anterior chamber early after complex trabeculectomy surgery.
