Descrição

The use of antifibrotic agents such as mitomycin C (MMC) in trabeculectomy surgery has not completely overcome conjunctival scarring. Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has been investigated as an alternative antifibrotic adjunctive. This study compared the effect of AMT in trabeculectomy with MMC.
