Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the surgical success of diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. Material and Method: The clinical records of patients who were treated with diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in our clinic were evaluated and data regarding demographic findings, pre-treatment and post-treatment intraocular pressures (IOP) levels, visual acuity levels and other pertinent ophthalmic examination findings were recorded. Results: Twenty-fıve eyes of 25 patients were included in the study. The most frequent glaucoma type was congenital glaucoma. Cyclodiode treatment was applied three times to four patients, twice to 11 patients and once to 10 patients. Patients were followed-up with a mean duration of 14.0±13.8 months (range=3-60 months) after treatment. Mean IOP was 37.6±8.6 mmHg before treatment and 26.5±10.1 mmHg after treatment. The difference was statisticaly significant (p=0.001). Posttreatment IOP values were <21 mmHg in of 9 (36%) eyes and between 21-30 mmHg in another 9 (%36) eyes. Two patients with at least 0.05 visual acuity had reduced vision after the treatment. Hypotony developed in one (%4) eye. None of the eyes developed phthisis bulbi. Conclusion: Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is a safe treatment modality with limited efficacy in the management of various glaucoma subtypes.

Özet

Amaç: Göz içi basıncı (GİB) yüksekliği nedeniyle diode laser transskleral siklofotokoagülasyon tedavisi almış glokom olgularının cerrahi başarılarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde diode laser transskleral siklofotokoagülasyon uygulananglokom hastalarının dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelenerek hastaların demografik verileri, işlem öncesi ve sonrası görme düzeyleri, göz içi basınçları ve diğer oftalmolojik muayenebulguları kaydedildi.Bulgular: Yirmi beş hastanın 25 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. En sık glokom nedeni konjenital glokomdu. Dört göze 3, 11 göze 2, 10 göze 1 kez siklodiod uygulandı. Hastalar tedavisonrası 14.0±13.8 ay (3-60 ay) izlendi. Tedavi öncesi ölçülen GİB değeri 37,6±8,6 mmHg, tedavi sonrası ölçülen ortalama GİB değeri 26,5±10,1 mmHg idi. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası arası fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p=0,001). Tedavi sonrası ölçülen GİB değeri 9(%36) gözde 21 mmHg altında, 9 (%36) gözde 21-30 mmHg arasında idi. Tedavi öncesi görme düzeyi en az 0,05 olan iki gözde tedavi sonrası görme düzeyinde azalma oldu. Bir gözdehipotoni gelişti. Hiç bir gözde fitizis bulbi gelişmedi.Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları diode laser siklofotokoagülasyonun değişik tipteki glokom olgularının çoğunda GİB'nı kontrol etmekte etkili ve güvenilir olduğunu göstermektedir.
