Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of clinical factors on the development of postoperative hypotony, and also to determine whether the occurrence of hypotony has any effect on the outcome of trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin C. The authors retrospectively reviewed the outcome in 160 eyes of 112 patients who underwent tight scleral flap trabeculectomy with releasable sutures. Mitomycin C with 0.25 or 0.5mg/ml was applied for 3 or 5 minutes between the Tenon's capsule and the sclera. The mean follow-up period was 16.5 +/- 11.5 months. Success of the trabeculectomy was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) 6-21 mmHg with or without medications. Hypotony(IOP
