“…Meticulous attention was paid to the postoperative management of these patients with all using preservative free drops and an active regime of both proactive and reactive bleb manipulation when required. Li and Kasner 33 in their study of consecutive phacotrabeculectomies with supplemental early needling with antimetabolite concluded that early postoperative needling with antimetabolite injections successfully lowered IOP and reduced the number of postoperative antiglaucoma medications.…”
Repeating trabeculectomy augmented with mitomycin C is an effective method of controlling IOP and preventing further visual deterioration in the majority of patients treated. However, visual loss was seen in a significant proportion of patients.

“…A nivel personal, dejé de utilizar el 5-FU hace muchos años por las complicaciones epiteliales, las molestias subjetivas que ocasionan al paciente y la necesidad de retratamientos (2,3). En nuestra experiencia personal ha sido más rentable con la Mitomicina C asociada a manipulación con aguja en casos donde no se había empleado intraoperatoriamente, lo que reduce el riesgo de ampollas cadavé-ricas (4).…”
