Summary of trabeculectomy surgery in primary congenital glaucoma.

Years	Author	Surgical technique	Eyes	Follow-up	End point	Success rate; %
2004	Rodrigues	Trabeculectomy: 30 eyes with MMC; 61 eyes without MMC	91	Patients with MMC; 70.2 ± 58.2 months; Patients without MMC; 43.8 ± 31.3 months	IOP between 15 and 21 mmHg
2010	Madhy	Trabeculectomy: 15 eyes MMC and amniotic membrane transplantation; 15 eyes trabeculectomy MMC	30	18 months	IOP between 15 and 21 mmHg	80; 60

Intraocular pressure (IOP), mitomycin C (MMC), and millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
MMC 0.4 mg/mL for 3 minutes.
The authors did not report values of success rate; they reported values obtained by Fisher exact test for categorical variables and survival analysis to access the success rate through time. No significant difference on the failure time of the procedure, for both success IOP values considered, was observed between the groups (P = 0.746 for IOP <21 mmHg and P = 0.216 for IOP ≤15 mmHg).
