PURPOSE: To evaluate tonometric outcomes of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in pseudophakic patients with open-angle glaucoma and associated risk factors for failure. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: Seventythree pseudophakic patients (89 eyes) with primary open-angle, normal-tension, exfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma were recruited. Success rates were defined according to three criteria: (A) intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 18 mm Hg and IOP reduction < 20% ; (B) IOP ≤ 15 mm Hg and IOP reduction < 25% ; and (C) IOP ≤ 12 mm Hg and IOP reduction < 30% . IOP, visual acuity, complications, and additional interventions were doc-umented after surgery. Cox’s proportional hazard regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for failure. RESULTS: Mean IOP (± SD) decreased from a preoperative value of 18.8± 6.6 mm Hg to 10.2± 5.1 mm Hg at one year and to 10.0± 4.2 at two years (P < .001 for both). Average number of preoperative medications decreased from 3.0± 1.1 to 0.5 ± 1.0 at one year and to 0.5± 0.9 at two years (P < .001 for both). For criteria A, B, and C, success rates (± SE) were 87% ± 4% , 83% ± 5% , and 76% ± 5% at 1 year and 67% ± 4% , 58% ± 8% , and 50% ± 7 at two years. Laser suture lysis was performed in 30 eyes, and 11% of those required a second glaucoma procedure. CONCLUSION: Increasing age, use of a limbus-based conjunctival flap, and performance of laser suture lysis were factors that were associated with a smaller risk of failure. Present findings indicate that trabeculectomy with mitomycin C provides acceptable long-term success rates in pseudophakic patients, with a low incidence of complications.
