title: [Specifics of surgically created draining zone in children with glaucoma after intraoperative mitomycin C according to ultrasonographic data].
abstract: The results of ultrasound biomicroscopy of draining zone created by filtering procedures in children with glaucoma after intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) are represented. 149 eyes of 129 children with glaucoma after surgery with and without MMC were studied. In 68 cases we created limbal-based conjunctival flap and in 81--fornix-based. Comparative analysis did not reveal influence of MMC on scleral and internal surgical zones. Significant difference after surgery with MMC consisted in forming of cystic bleb in 20.8% when limbal-based conjunctival flap was created. It was showed that fornix-based conjunctival flap not only prevents forming of "mitomycin" cystic bleb but maintains positive effects of citostatic medications as well.
