ABSTRACT

Trabeculectomy is usually a successful procedure to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. However, the failure of the filtering bleb can occur, leading to increased intraocular pressure and to a further medical or surgical intervention. A literature review on transconjunctival cystotomy, with or without the use of mitomycin C or 5-fluorouracil, was made. It was demonstrated that this method is minimally invasive with few complications, effective, easy-to-apply and inexpensive to restore aqueous drainage and lowering intraocular pressure.
