Bleb revision with bleborhexis and clear corneal lamellar patch graft for overhanging cystic bleb
Background: Trabeculectomy is associated with several complications. One of the common complications with mitomycin assisted trabeculectomy is thin cystic bleb leading to bleb leak, hypotony and infections.

Mitomycin C versus 5-Fluorouracil for wound healing in glaucoma surgery. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Raised intraocular pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma. One treatment option is glaucoma drainage surgery (trabeculectomy). Antimetabolites are used during surgery to reduce postoperative scarring during wound healing. Two agents in common

Is post-trabeculectomy hypotony a risk factor for subsequent failure? A case control study [PDF]
Background: Ocular hypotony results in an increased break down of the blood-aqueous barrier and an increase in inflammatory mediator release. We postulate that this release may lead to an increased risk of trabeculectomy failure through increased bleb
