AIM:To determine the long-term postoperative outcomes of deep sclerectomy-trabeculectomy(DST)with mitomycin C(MMC)in the treatment of glaucoma.METHODS:Patients who underwent DST with MMC between 2010 and 2017 were included in this retrospective observational study.Complete success was defined as postoperative intraocular pressure(IOP)≤21 mm Hg or 30%reduction of IOP from baseline without any topical IOP-lowering agent,and qualified success defined as IOP≤21 mm Hg or 30%reduction of IOP from baseline with/without single topical agent.We evaluated the surgical success rates and complication rates of this procedure,as well as described the IOP profiles,best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)profiles and mean deviations(MD)of Humphrey visual field(HVF)24-2 performance at each follow-up time point.Mixed linear regression models were constructed to determine estimated predictive values of demographic data,use of topical IOPlowering agents,baseline and postoperative IOP and optical profiles(e.g.,BCVA and MD).RESULTS:Totally 98 eyes(mean postoperative followup 67.5mo)showed mean IOP reduction at every followup interval.Both median BCVA and MD of visual fields were maintained throughout the follow-up intervals when comparing to baseline.The number of IOP-lowering medications decreased from 2.8±0.8 to 0.3±0.7(P=0.068).Totally 84(85.7%)eyes achieved complete success at final follow-up.Transient hyphaema and transient choroidal effusion developed in 15 eyes(15.3%)and 11 eyes(11.2%)respectively.Other complications included shallow anterior chamber in 5 eyes(5.1%),bleb leak in 4 eyes(4.1%),bleb revision in 7 eyes(7.1%),bleb needling in 9 eyes(9.2%)and repeat trabeculectomy in 1 eye(1.0%).There was no endophthalmitis,blebitis or macular oedema.There was no significant correlation between postoperative IOP control and postoperative BCVA.CONCLUSION:DST with MMC demonstrates effective and sustained long-term outcomes in the treatment of glaucoma with no major complication.
