简要总结
To compare between outcome of Express implant and subscleral trabeculectomy (SST) in management of glaucoma after previous trabeculectomy with a fibrotic bleb.
详细描述
Trabeculectomy is the main glaucoma surgery. Despite the good decline in intraocular pressure (IOP) that occur rapidly after the procedure, there is still failure occurring due to progressive subconjunctival fibrosis, with associated increased IOP.
If the bleb is revived by needling with adjunctive 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and mitomycin C (MMC) that used intraoperatively for the majority of these cases , the associated rise in IOP was controlled if the revision occured early within the first three months after surgery. But less success occurred if the bleb revision was delayed.
If these interventions fail, alternative approaches include new augmented trabeculectomy or aqueous shunt implantation.
Express shunt allows aqueous to pass from anterior chamber to subconjunctival space like trabeculectomy .Express shunt is a non valved shunt, It has an advantage of less traumatic, less complications, low diffuse bleb and high success rate.

结局指标
主要结局
change of intra ocular pressure (IOP)
时间窗: one year follow up
IOP measured with Goldmann applanation tonometry: Complete success in IOP considered as IOP less than 20 mmHg without treatment and a qualified success in IOP considered as IOP less than 20 mmHg with medical treatment and a failure in IOP control considered if IOP more than or equal 20 mmHg after surgery
次要结局
- Visual acuity changes by Decimal(one year follow up)
- Glaucomatous visual field (VF) changes in median deviation by decibels (dB)(one year follow up)
- Changes in optic Cup-to-Disc ratio by Volk+90 non-contact lens(one year follow up)
