Brief summary

Aim: Efficacy of using the anterior lens capsule removed during combined Phacotrabeculectomy. Methods: Two site Phacotrabeculectomy and at the end of the surgery, the removed anterior lens was placed under the scleral flap in Group I, and Mitomycin C in Group II. Results: No significant difference between the IOP, anti glaucoma medications or visual acuity. No complications were related to anterior lens capsule. Conclusion: Anterior lens capsule is effective in phacotrabeculectomies

Interventions

Two site Phacotrabeculectomy; one site is the phaco incision the other site is the trabeculectomy inision, and at the end of the surgery, the removed anterior lens capsule was placed under the scleral flap in Group I, and Mitomycin C in Group II is applied under the scleral flap intra operatively in order to reduce the fibrosis and thus enhancing success rate of filteration surgery. the surgical procedure is about one hour duration
