Outcomes of the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in iridocorneal endothelial syndrome

Purpose To compare the surgical outcomes of the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with glaucoma secondary to iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. Materials and methods This retrospective comparative case series included 41 eyes of 41 pa...

Description
Summary:Purpose To compare the surgical outcomes of the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with glaucoma secondary to iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. Materials and methods This retrospective comparative case series included 41 eyes of 41 patients with ICE syndrome and glaucoma who underwent either a trabeculectomy with MMC ( n  = 20) or AADI surgery ( n  = 21) with a minimum of 2 years follow-up. Outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP), the use of glaucoma medications, visual acuity, additional surgical interventions, and surgical complications. Surgical failure was defined as IOP > 21 mmHg or reduced
