Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate early results of the operation in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) control and complications that increases the drainage of aqueous humor by placing a drainage tube between anterior chamber-suprachoroidal area in patients with glaucoma resistant to maximum medical therapy. Materials and Methods: Twelve eyes of 12 patients with refractory glaucoma which have progressive glaucomatous damage were included. After preparing limbus- based scleral flap; one side of a silicone seton with an interior diameter of 0.34 mm was placed into suprachoroidal area and the other side to the anterior chamber. Postoperative IOP and complications were assesed. IOP&#8217;s (without antiglaucomatous treatment) <21mmHg is defined as success. Results: The average follow up period after implantation was 34.3±9.7 weeks. The mean preoperative IOP was 30.8±8.2 mmHg, postoperative IOP in the 1st, 3rd, 12th month were 13.7±7.2, 14.2±4.5 (12 patients), 12.3±1.7 mmHg (3 patients). Success rate in the 1 st, 3rd, 12th month were 91.7% (11 patients), 91.7% (11 patients),66.6% (2 patients). Early IOP elevation and postoperative hypotonia was not recorded . Postoperatively 2 patients (16.6%) had hyphema , 2 patients (16.6%) had pupillary membranes. In the first month, one patient(8.3%) had an increased IOP (medically decreased). Conclusion: According to early results, we think that the suprachoroidal tube implantation is an effective and safe procedure in decreasing IOP in refractory glaucoma.

Özet

Amaç: Maximum tıbbi tedaviye yanıt vermeyen dirençli glokomlu hastalarda ön kamara ve suprakoroidal alan arasına tüp yerleştirilerek, aköz humor drenajını arttıran ameliyatın, göz içi basıncı (GİB) kontrolü ve komplikasyonları açısından erken sonuçlarını incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Maksimum tıbbi tedavi ile GİB’ leri kontrol altına alınamayan, glokomatöz hasarı ilerleyen dirençli glokomu olan 12 hastanın 12 gözü çalışmaya alındı. İç çapı 0.34 mm olan silikon seton, limbal tabanlı skleral flep kaldırılarak bir ucu suprakoroidal alana ve diğer ucu ön kamaraya yerleştirildi. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası GİB ve komplikasyonlar incelendi. Ameliyat sonrası antiglokomatöz ilaç kullanılmadan 21 mmHg altındaki GİB’ ler başarı olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Ameliyat sonrası ortalama takip süresi 34.3±9.7 hafta idi. Ortalama GİB preoperatif 30.8±8.2 mmHg, postoperatif 1. ayda 13.7±7.2 mmHg (12 hasta), 3. ayda 14.2±4.5 (12 hasta) mmHg ve 12. ayda 12.3±1.7(3 hasta) mmHg idi. Başarı oranı 1. ayda%91.7 (11 hasta), 3. ayda %91.7 (11 hasta) ve 12. ayda (2 hasta)%66.6 olarak bulundu. Postoperatif erken GİB artışı ve hipotoni izlenmedi. Postoperatif 2 olguda (%16.6) hifema, 2 olguda (%16.6) pupil alanında membran gelişti. Birinci ayda bir olguda (%8.3) tıbbi tedavi ile kontrol altına alınan GİB yüksekliği tesbit edildi. Sonuç: Erken sonuçlarımıza göre suprakoroidal tüp implantasyonu uygulamasının dirençli glokom olgularında GİB’i düşürmede etkili ve emin bir yöntem olduğu düşünüldü.
