Retrospective Comparision of Trabeculectomy with Two Different Types of Conjunctival Flaps

Material and methods: Forty-two patients having limbus-based conjunctival flap (Group-1) and 42 patients having fornix-based conjunctival flap (Group-2) for trabeculectomy operation were compared retrospectively with respect to surgical success, additional interventions, use of medications, complications and bleb morphology during 12-month, postoperative period in ophthalmology clinic. Success of trabeculectomy classified accordingly to postoperative Intraocular Pressure (IOP) as complete (<18mmHg), partial (18-21mmHg) and failed (>21mmHg).
