Objective To observe the releasable suture technique in trabeculectomy for primary angle-closure glaucoma to prevent early complications and improve long-term lowered intraocular pressure.Methods 60 eyes of 60 chronic angle-closure glaucoma patients were randomly divided into test group and control group.32 eyes in test group underwent trabeculectomy with releasable suture and MMC,28 eyes in control agroup underwent trabeculectomy and MMC.All of them were fellowed up for 6 months.Results There were no significant statistical differences between tow groups with shallow anterior chamber.Postoperative IOP between the two groups was no significant difference except for that 1 day after operation.Conclusions Releasable suture techniques has not significantly reduce early postoperative trabeculectomy incidence of shallow anterior chamber,or long-term intraocular pressure control. Key words: glaucoma; trabeculecomy; releasable suture
