In order to reduce corneal complications in 27 glaucomatous eyes that underwent trabeculectomy and postoperative subconjunctival injection of 5-fluorouracil, the authors tried a low dose administration of 5-fluorouracil and a modified subconjunctival injection technique. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a success rate of 78%. This study shows that corneal complications decreased when the contact between 5-FU and the ocular surface was reduced. LA: Italian
