To compare the efficacy of transconjunctival needling revision (TNR) with 5-fluorouracil versus medical treatment (MT) in glaucomatous eyes with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) due to encapsulated bleb after trabeculectomy Prospective, randomized, interventional study. A total of forty eyes of 39 patients with elevated IOP and encapsulated bleb diagnosed at maximum 5 months after primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C were included. The eyes were randomized to either TNR with 5-fluorouracil or MT (hypotensive eyedrops). A maximum of two TNR per patient was allowed in the needling arm. All eyes were followed up for 12 months. Success of treatment was defined as IOP ≤ 18mmHg and 20% reduction from baseline at last follow up.
