• Purpose To compare the surgical outcomes and bleb morphology of limbal‐ based group with that of fornix‐based group undergone trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC). Methods 50 eyes of 50 patients with trabeculectomy with MMC who were observed for 1 year were included in the study. A limbal‐based conjunctival flap was used for 25 eyes of 25 patients and a fornix‐based conjunctival flap for the other 25 eyes of 25 patients. We classified and compared the bleb morphology according to the Moorfield Bleb Grading Sistem after 1 year postoperatively, and evaluated intraocular pressure, success rates. Results There was no significant difference in the IOP and success rate in two groups. The central bleb vascularity of the limbal‐based group was stadistically lower than that of fornix‐based group (1,69±0,56 : 2,08 ±0,69, p=0,042). The risk of cystic bleb formation was higher in the limbal‐based group (34,2% : 14,6% , p = 0,047). Conclusion There was no difference between the groups in the IOP and cumulative succes rate, but fornix‐based group was recommendable concerning the low risk of cystic bleb formation.
