Mitomycin C augmented glaucoma surgery: evolution of filtering
bleb avascularity, transconjunctival oozing, and leaks.
Post-operatively
bleb was found in 45 (90%) cases at 1 week, whereas it was absent in 5 (10%) cases.

In these patients, pneumothorax is presumed to result from rupture of bullae and
blebs. The risk of spontaneous pneumothorax is correlated with amount and duration of tobacco smoke exposure.
The membrane
blebs were increased in the specimen prepared by using CPD technique as pointed out by the blue arrows in Figures 5(e) and 5(f).
With a clinical diagnosis of co-existing blue rubber
bleb nevus (BRBNS), diagnostic biopsy of the suspected BRBN lesions was taken simultaneously.
* Conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule flap is sutured (Figure 2g) and irrigation through the paracentesis is repeated to inflate the
bleb (Figure 2h).
Prevention failure of
bleb cicatrix would lead to unsatisfactory postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) controlling and unsatisfactory success rate.
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is mainly caused by the rupture of a
bleb or of a bulla [5].
