5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was injected subconjunctivally after glaucoma filtering surgery in a pilot study of eyes with poor surgical prognoses. Twenty-seven (79%) of the 34 aphakic eyes with glaucoma achieved an intraocular pressure (IOP) of ≤21 mmHg (range of follow-up on nonreoperated eyes, 91–468 days). Nine (69%) of 13 eyes with neovascular glaucoma achieved an IOP of ≤21 mmHg (range of follow-up on nonreoperated eyes, 120–379 days). Eight (89%) of nine phakic eyes with glaucoma following unsuccessful filtering procedures achieved an IOP of ≤21 mmHg (range of follow-up on nonreoperated eyes, 134–394 days). Visual acuities remained within one line of their preoperative levels or improved in 32 (94%) of the 34 aphakic eyes with glaucoma, eight (62%) of the 13 eyes with neovascular glaucoma, and six (67%) of the nine phakic eyes with glaucoma following unsuccessful filtering procedures. Postoperative corneal epithelial defects occurred in 45% of the cases. Conjunctival wound and conjunctival needle tract leaks were observed in 41% of the cases, but only one eye required wound revision. No other serious side effects that we attributed to 5-FU were observed. It seems that postoperative subconjunctival 5-FU increases the likelihood of achieving IOP control following filtering surgery in eyes with poor surgical prognoses; however, a randomized clinical trial is necessary to confirm this.
