Résumé / Abstract

Background: Various risk factors for failure of glaucoma filtering surgery, including young age, have been suggested. Methods: A retrospective study of 113 trabeculectomies in 113 patients, ranging in age between 11 and 49 years (mean, 33.3±10.5 years), was carried out to determine the influence of these risk factors in young patients. Results: A successful outcome (intraocular pressure [IOP]≤21 mmHg without antiglaucoma treatment), assessed by life-table analysis, was achieved in 54% of trabeculectomies after 38 months (mean follow-up, 36.7±29.7 months). Previous ocular surgery (e.g., glaucoma filtering, cataract, or conjunctival surgery) and previous laser therapy (i.e., argon laser trabeculoplasty and YAG laser iridotomy) both significantly reduced the success rate
