Abstract

Purpose: To compare clinical success rates of deep sclerectomy operations by applying SK Gel and T-Flux implants to the each eyes of the patients who had bilateral glaucoma. Materials and Methods: In this prospective randomized clinical study 20 eyes of 10 glaucoma patients were operated by deep sclerectomy technique bilaterally with implantation of SK Gel to one and T-Flux to the other eye. After the operations IOP (intraocular pressure) reduction and visual acuities of patients in two implant groups were compared statistically. Results: 6 months after the operations, in both implant groups percentage of eyes in which IOP was less than 21 mmHg without medication (complete success ) was 90% and percentage of eyes in which IOP was less than 21 mmHg with medication (qualified success) was 100%. There was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative mean visual acuities and between mean preoperative IOPs (SK Gel 23.7±2.31 mmHg, T-Flux 23.3±2.26 mmHg) in both implant groups (p>0.05). Postoperatively mean IOPs in both implant groups (SKGel 14±1.15 mmHg,T-Flux 12.1±1.52 mmHg) were statistically lower than preoperative levels (p=0.005). Mean IOP of T-Flux group was statistically lower than SK Gel group (p=0.01). Amount of mean IOP decrease in T-Flux group was statistically higher than SK Gel group(p=0.045). Conclusions: With both implants effective decrease in IOP were achieved in early postoperative term. When implant groups were compared, T-flux was a little bit better. But in order to decide more accurately about the usefulness of these kinds of implants, studies with longer follow up time and with more patients should be done

Özet

Amaç: Bilateral glokomlu olgularda SK GEL ve T-Flux implantlarını her bir hastanın iki gözünde derin sklerektomi ameliyatında kullanmak suretiyle klinik başarılarını karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif randomize çalışmada bilateral glokomlu, medikal tedavi ile durumları kontrol altına alınamayan 10 hastanın 20 gözüne derin sklerektomi operasyonu ile beraber bir göze SK Gel, diğerine T-Flux implantı yapıldı. Operasyonlar sonrasında her iki implant grubu, göz içi basınçlarındaki (GİB) düşme ve görme keskinlikleri yönünden istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Operasyondan 6 ay sonra her iki implant grubunda da glokom ilacı kullanmaksızın GİB’nın 21mmHg’nın altında olduğu olguların oranı %90 (tam başarı), glokom ilacı kullanılarak GİB’nın 21mmHg’nın altında olduğu olguların oranı ise %100 (kısmi başarı) olarak saptandı. Her iki grup arasında operasyon öncesi ve sonrası ortalama görme keskinliği ve operasyon öncesi ortalama göz içi basınçları yönünden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi (SK Gel 23.7±2.31 mmHg, T-Flux 23.3±2.26 mmHg) (p>0.05). Operasyonlar sonrası her iki implant grubunda ortalama GİB’ları operasyon öncesi ortalamalardan anlamlı olarak düşük ölçüldü (SK Gel grubunda 14±1.15 mmHg, T-Flux grubunda 12.1±1.52 mmHg) (p=0.005). Operasyon sonrası T-Flux grubunda ortalama GİB’ı SK Gel grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük olarak ölçüldü (p=0.01). Ortalama GİB’ında azalma miktarı T-Flux grubunda SK Gel grubuna göre anlamlı derecede fazla bulundu (p=0.045). Sonuç: Her iki implantla da derin sklerektomi operasyonlarında erken dönemde GİB’larında etkili bir düşüş sağlanmıştır. İmplantların karşılaştırmalarında T-Flux’ın biraz daha başarılı olduğu söylenebilir. Ancak bu ve benzeri implantların yararlılığı hakkında daha doğru karar vermek için uzun süreli ve çok sayıda olguyu içeren çalışmalar yapılması gereklidir
