PURPOSE: To describe the intraoperative and postoperative complications encountered during the first year of follow-up in the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy (TVT) Study. DESIGN : Multicenter randomized clinical trial.METHODS: SETTING: Seventeen clinical centers.STUDY, POPULATION: Two hundred twelve patients aged 18 to 85 years who had undergone previous trabeculectomy and/or cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and uncontrolled glaucoma with intraocular pressure >= 18 mm Hg and = 2 lines of Snellen visual acuity in 18 patients (17%) in the tube group and 28 patients (27%) in the trabeculectomy group (P = .12).CONCLUSIONS: There were a large number of surgical complications during the first year of follow-up in the study, but most were self-limited. The incidence of Postoperative complications was higher after trabeculectomy with MMC than nonvalved tube shunt surgery. Serious complications resulting in reoperation and/or vision loss occurred with similar frequency with both surgical procedures.
