ABSTRACT
SUMMARY
Aim: In .ctrospectivclv assess the outcome of
trabecu lectcmv performed using an intraoperative
sponge soaked 5-fluorouracil (50 mg/ ml).
Methods: Trabeculcctornv with an intraoperative
sponge soaked with 5-f1uorouracil (5-fU) was
performed in 21 eyes of 1-+ patients. The reduction in
in traocular press ure (lOP), com plications and va ria tions
in visual acuity were noted.
Results: The mean preoperative lOP was 31.5 ± 10.6
mmHg. The mean postoperative lOP was 7.3 ±
5.7mmI-lg on the second postoperative day and 17.5 ±
9.SmmI-lg at 3 months. Postoperative complications
\ ere mostlv transient, vvith 330
0 of eyes requiring
postoperative c111tig!c1l1coma therapv to reduce lOP.
Visua l c1cuity Improved postopcr.itivclv in 3 eyes,
\'CHSCllL'din 9 cyes and remained the S,1l11l' In 9 eyes,
Conclusion: l.vcn though ,1 sm.ifl study, an
intraoperative sponge soaked vvil h 5-I:U seems to be a
safe and effective adjunct to tr.ibccu lcctomy.
