Outcomes of Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C in Patients of Hispanic vs European Descent
In this study, Hispanic descent was associated with higher failure rate after initial trabeculectomy with adjunctive MMC compared with European descent. These findings need to be considered when glaucoma surgery is contemplated in patients of Hispanic descent, especially if these findings are confirmed in future studies that address some of the limitations of this single-center retrospective investigation.
