Severe ciliochoroidal detachment and a shallow anterior chamber were persistent in one case and bleb-related infection recurred in another. Additionally, a 46-year-old male with POAG had hypotony maculopathy with a giant ischemic bleb 18 months after surgery. Although these patients were quite resistant to medical and surgical treatments, they were successfully treated by corneal lamellar grafting without complications. Conclusions: Tectonic corneal lamellar grafting is a reliable and final surgical method to improve severe cases of hypotony maculopathy or bleb leak after mitomycin C trabeculectomy.Keywords: mitomycin C, trabeculectomy, postoperative complications, hypotony maculopathy, bleb leak, corneal lamellar grafting Takeo FukuchiHidenobu MatsudaJun Uedaet alDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2010, Iss default, Pp 197-202 (2010) |
