Comparison of Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C With or Without Phacoemulsification and Lens Implantation

Abstract

The reduction of IOP is significantly larger after trabeculectomy alone than after the combined procedure; however, the functional and anatomical results of the combined procedure of phacoemulsification, posterior chamber IOL implantation, and trabeculectomy with MMC application were as good as those of trabeculectomy alone with MMC.
