Abstract

Purpose: NEEDLING BLEB REVISION with MMC is an accepted method of management of failed trabeculectomy with ENCAPSULATED BLEB. The authors present the outcome of the NEEDLING BLEB REVISION with MMC in poorly functioning filtering blebs over MOLTENO drainage device.Patients and Methods: Sixteen eyes of 16 patients with ENCAPSULATED BLEB around the MOLTENO plate and elevated lOP that had not been controlled by medical management, underwent bleb revision with MMC. Results: There were 16 eyes of 16 patients with 5-65 years old (mean, 28.8±22.7). Six patients were female (37.5%) and 10 patients were male (62.5%). In this study aphakia and congenital glaucoma were the most common causes of glaucoma. The mean period of follow up was 24 months and the duration between surgery and needling was 18.25±12.1 months. The mean lOP reduction was from 28.25+3.70 mmHg to 16.69+3.14 mmHg at third month and to 21.13+4.11 mmHg at 6 months and the success rate was 87.5% at 3rd month, 37.5% at 6th month, and 12.5% after 2 years follow up. Conclusion: NEEDLING BLEB REVISION with MMC is a relatively safe and effective method in the management of failed encapsulated MOLTENO tube implant. Although its effectiveness may be limited, it is a repeatable procedure.
