PURPOSE: To report long-term outcomes of trabeculectomy following prior endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP). METHODS: Retrospective case-controlled comparative study reporting 2-year outcomes of eyes undergoing trabeculectomy following failed prior ECP (group 1), using eyes undergoing trabeculectomy as a primary glaucoma procedure as controls (group 2). RESULTS: Filtration surgery was required in only 19.4% (12/62) of eyes undergoing ECP. Of these, nine eyes that underwent trabeculectomies were included in group 1. Nine matched eyes were used as controls and included in group 2. Mean baseline IOPs were 23.7 ± 7.7 and 26.0 ± 6.7 mmHg (p = 0.452) in groups 1 and 2, respectively, on a mean of 3.4 ± 0.9 and 2.8 ± 1.4 medications, respectively (p = 0.274). The mean 2-year IOP was 10.6 ± 5.2 and 12.9 ± 4.0 mmHg (p = 0.285) in groups 1 and 2, respectively, on a mean of 0.1 ± 0.3 and 0.1 ± 0.4 medications (p = 0.931) respectively. Complete success rates were 77.8% and 88.9% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.527). Qualified success rates were 11.1% in both groups. Combined success rates were 88.9% and 100.0% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.318). There were no failures in group 2, compared to 11.1% in group 1 (p = 0.318). There were no significant between-group differences in hypotony, bleb needling, cystoid macular oedema, persistent uveitis, or repeat filtration surgery rates. CONCLUSIONS: ECP is a safe initial procedure in eyes with progressive glaucomas, and may substantially reduce the need for trabeculectomy without compromising outcomes in the minority that go on to require it.
