Abstract:

Objective   To explore the curative effect of adjustable suture in different positions in trabeculectomy combined with mitomycin C. Methods   68 cases (70 eyes) were divided into the observation group and the control group. Adjustable suture was in the bilateral waist of the scleral flap in the observation group (36 eyes) and in the bilateral tips of the scleral flap in the control group (34 eyes). Anterior chamber, filtration, eye-pressure and complications were observed and compared after operation. Results   The anterior chamber, filtration, eye-pressure and complications had no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion   Adjustable suture in the two kinds of positions can both reduce postoperative complications and effectively control eye pressure.
