Trabeculectomy, as a surgical intervention in the treatment of glaucoma, has become most popular. The most common cause of filtration failure is obstruction of aqueous outflow due to bleb fibrosis. Adjunctive intraoperative mitomycin-C has been reported to improve the success of filtration surgery in eyes of high risk for failure. But its use increases the rate of complications after filtering surgery: especially postoperative hypotony, wound leakage, and scleral necrosis. We have experienced two patients whose scleral flaps were necrotized after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C in uncomplicated glaucoma. We report successful results in revision of filtering bleb by using Gore-Tex as a patch graft.

A clinical study of the refractive and visual results with 104 consecutive implantations of the intraocular lens was performed between July 1984 and April 1986. Postoperative refraction of myopia was observed in 56.7% of patients, and emmetropia in 21.1%, hyperopia in 22.2%. Visual acuity of 0.5 or better at 2 month after operation was revealed in 88.9% of cases studied; 90.3% in 62 cases of posterior chamber lens implantations and 85.7% in 28 cases of anterior chamber lens implantations. There was no statistically significant difference between visual results after anterior chamber lerts and posterior chamber lens implantation.

We reviewed 9 eyes which underwent combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy at separate site. Phacoemulsification was performed using corneal incision and trabeculectomy was performed at one superior quadrant using a limbus-based conjunctival flap with mitomycin C(0.2mg/ml, 3-5 minutes). Six eyes received 3-piece folable silicone lenses and 3 eyes received 1-picec PMMA(diameter 5.5mm) lenses. Mean preoperatie intraocular pressure (IOP) was 23.4+/-8.7mmHg. Mean follow-up period was 12.7(range 6-21)months. The mean postoperative IOP at 1, 6, 12 months were 14.6+/-4.8mmHg, 13.8+/-4.4mmHg, 16.6+/-6.8mmHg, respectively. Seven eyes achieved a final fisual acuity of 0.7 or better. One patient developed vision-impairing complications; flat anterior chambe and anterior dislocation of silicone lens. Other complications include posteror synechiae(4 eyes), capsular opacities (3 eyes), lens decentration with capsular contracture(1 eye). These rusults suggest that combined corneal incision phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy at separate site offers an effective technique to control postoperative intraocular pressure in patients with coexsisting cataract and glaucoma, though this procedure is not devoid of complications.
