Comparison between sutureless scleral tunnel phacotrabeculectomy with and without placement of anterior capsule remnant.

Purpose: To compare sutureless scleral tunnel phacotrabeculectomy with and without placement of anterior capsule remnant in the tunnel.

Methods: In this comparative interventional case series, 41 eyes of 40 patients having open-angle glaucoma (OAG) underwent sutureless scleral tunnel phacotrabeculectomy (Group A) and 28 eyes of 24 patients underwent the same procedure with placement of anterior capsule remnant in the tunnel (Group B). Baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP at 1 day, 1 month and 6 months after surgery were recorded.

Outcomes of same-site re-operation with minimal use of mitomycin in failed trabeculectomy.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of same site re-operation in eyes with failed trabeculectomy. A retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. We reviewed the medical records of 35 eyes of 35 patients who underwent same-site re-operation for failed trabeculectomy.
