| Abstract |
|
The study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of subconjunctivally injected mitomycin-C (MMC) on glaucoma filtration surgery(GFS) in rabbit eyes. Each of 0.05mg, 0.1mg and 0.2mg MMC were injected subconjunctivally into the rabbit eye according to groups I, II, III respectively following GFS. The IOP were returned to preoperative level at postoperative 2 weeks in control group, and at postoperative 12 weeks in group I and II. Histologically the fibrotic reaction appears less intensively in the order of group III, II, I and control group at 2 weeks after GFS. At postoperative 12th week, fibroblasts are more frequently oberved in group I and II than control group. But the proliferation of collagenous and reticulin fibers are less in group I and II than control group. The least amount of fibroblasts, collagenous and reticulin fibers are found in group III. It is suggested that subconjunctival injection of lower concentration of MMC would be effective approval as an adjunctive method to improve more success rate of GFS from this study. |
