Outcome of Intraoperative Mitomycin C Injection in Trabeculectomy and Phacotrabeculectomy in Patients with Glaucoma

Purpose: To find out the factors predisposing to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi, from October 2017 to April 2018. Methods: After approval from ethical review committee 117 patients presenting with Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) were included in the study. A detailed history was taken including previous surgery and trauma. Complete ocular examination was performed including dilated fundus examination. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Mean and standard deviation were computed for quantitative variable i.e. age and frequency. Percentages were calculated for qualitative variables i.e. gender, eye involved, lattice degeneration, trauma and intraocular surgery. Stratification was done with regards to age, gender, eye involved to see the effect of these modifiers on individual factor (lattice degeneration, trauma, intraocular surgery) by using chi square test and considering p value ? 0.05 as significant.
