Objective: To assess the long-term results of intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) in external dacryocystorhinostomy (EXT-DCR).
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study, 35 patients (40 eyes) with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction were assigned randomly into two groups. In the control group, a standard EXT-DCR procedure was performed.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and mitomycin C (MMC) affect the formation of postoperative adhesions in rabbits after strabismus surgery.
- MMC-treated eyes showed increased avascularity and lower adhesion scores compared to controls and 5-FU-treated eyes, with significance noted in the adhesion between SRM and sclera.
- Both MMC and 5-FU were effective in reducing postoperative scarring, suggesting potential benefits for patients with higher risks of adhesions.
Purpose: To compare the therapeutic effects of two ophthalmic solutions (0.1% olopatadine hydrochloride and 0.5% ketorolac tromethamine) with different pharmacological mechanisms on the clinical signs and Symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC).
