OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the joined precocious complications in surgeries of mitomycin trabeculectomy, carried through in residence service-school, aiming at better perfectioning in the technique and postoperative accompaniment of the patients. METHODS: Retrospective study by means of record analysis. The patients evaluated amount sex, age and race. Was included patients with primary of angle open glaucoma and submitted the mitomycin trabeculectomy. A total of 43 patients had been analyzed, 25 were male and 18 female; 19 were black, and the age ranged of 51 the 82 years (average 68 years). The patients were evaluated in first and seventh postoperative days, or if necessary before first week. The complications in had been registered it and were: bleb leaking, shallow anterior chamber, atalamy; hifema, choroidal detachment. RESULTS: The age average was of 68 years, 58.1% of the patients (25 in the total) was male and 44.1% were black. The Bleb leaking was the most frequent complication, representing 25.56% of surgeries and 36.66% of all the complications (11 patients). Shallow anterior chamber was observed in 17.5% of surgeries and 22.5% of complications (seven patients). Choroidal detachment was present in 14.6% of patients and 19.3% of the complications in 1a week ( seven patients). Atalamy was found in three patients, represented of 6.97% of patients and 9.67% of the complications. Hifema also was observed in three patients, being all found they in the Immediate Postoperative CONCLUSION: The frequency of complications found in this work this inside of the limits observed in literature. Quantify the percentage of postoperative complications during the first week is of fundamental importance for improvements in intra operative and standardization of the behaviors front to each complication, standardization of behavior in response to each complication, thus reducing the morbidity and chance of surgical failure in the long term.
