Corneal lamellar grafting to repair late complications of mitomycin C trabeculectomy
PURPOSE: To report corneal lamellar grafting to repair the late-onset complications after MMC trabeculectomy. METHODS: Multiple case reports. RESULTS: A 76-year-old male with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and a 55-year-old male with late developmental glaucoma complicated by bleb leaks from a m...

description | PURPOSE: To report corneal lamellar grafting to repair the late-onset complications after MMC trabeculectomy. METHODS: Multiple case reports. RESULTS: A 76-year-old male with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and a 55-year-old male with late developmental glaucoma complicated by bleb leaks from a microhole 10 and eight years after surgery, respectively. Severe ciliochoroidal detachment and a shallow anterior chamber were persistent in one case and bleb-related infection recurred in another. Additionally, a 46-year-old male with POAG had hypotony maculopathy with a giant ischemic bleb 18 months after surgery. Although these patients were quite resistant to medical and surgical treatments, they were successfully treated by corneal lamellar grafting without complications. CONCLUSIONS: Tectonic corneal lamellar grafting is a reliable and final surgical method to improve severe cases of hypotony maculopathy or bleb leak after mitomycin C trabeculectomy. |
