“…In eyes requiring cataract extraction and glaucoma surgery, combined surgery provides better long-term control of intraocular pressure (IOP) than cataract surgery alone, 1 protection from postoperative IOP spikes after cataract surgery, 1 and prevention of late failure of trabeculectomy that can occur when cataract surgery is performed in eyes with prior trabeculectomy. [2][3][4][5] However, combined cataract extraction and trabeculectomy has been shown to be less effective at lowering IOP than trabeculectomy alone. [6][7][8][9] Trabeculectomy fails when intraocular inflammatory mediators induce subconjunctival fibroblast proliferation and scarring of the drainage bleb.…”

“…Outros estudos avaliaram a eficácia do uso da MMC em cirurgias combinadas com facoemulsificação [15][16][17][18] e confirmaram a eficácia deste antimetabólito em melhorar o controle pressórico no pós-operatório.…”

“…Entretanto, o tempo de seguimento, o tamanho da amostra populacional, o critério de sucesso e a natureza do estudo (prospectivo x retrospectivo) foram diferentes em cada um desses artigos. Outros estudos [11][12][13][14] sugerem que o uso de MMC intraoperatório esteja associado a uma taxa de sucesso elevada em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia combinada, mas uma boa parte investiga sua eficácia quando a facoemulsificação é empregada [15][16][17][18] . Apesar da facoemulsificação hoje ter se tornado o procedimento de escolha no nosso Serviço e em países desenvolvidos, a extração extracapsular ainda é realizada pela maioria dos cirurgiões em países como o nosso.…”
