Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of symptomatic trichiasis and to assess the safety and efficacy of the ablation method with radiofrequency electrosurgery. Material Method: Medical records of the patients with symptomatic trichiasis who underwent ablation with radiofrequency electrosurgery were reviewed between January 2010 and March 2013. Demographic characteristics of the patients, the distribution of diagnoses, severity of trichiasis and the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation were evaluated. Results: The study comprised 44 eyelids of 27 patients. The mean age of the patients was 64.0±16.1 years; 48.1% were male and 51.9% female. The mean follow-up time was 15.3±12.3 months. Trichiasis was observed in the upper eyelid in 66.6% of eyes, in the lower eyelid in 16.6% and in both eyelids in 16.6%. The severity of trichiasis was classified as mild in 54.5% of eyes and severe in 45.5%. There was secondary development of trachoma or scatricial conjunctivitis in 25% and chronic blepharitis in 19.4% of trichiasis eyes. While congenital malpositioning of the eyelash was determined in 9.1% of eyes, no specific etiology was determined in 45.5%. The success rate after the first application of radiofrequency ablation was 90.9% and 100% after the second application. Conclusion: This case series showed that the ablation with radiofrequency electrosurgery is an easy method to apply and is efffective and safe in the treatment of trichiasis.

Özet

Amaç: Semptomatik trikiyazis olgularının klinik özellikleri ve radyofrekans elektrocerrahi yönteminin etkinlik ve güvenliğinin değerlendirilmesiamaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2010-Mart 2013 tarihleri arasında semptomatik trikiyazis tanısıyla radyofrekans elektrocerrahi yapılan olguların dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, tanıların dağılımı, trikiyazisin ciddiyeti ve radyofrekans ablasyon etkinliği vegüvenliği değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 27 hastanın 44 göz kapağı dahil edildi. Olguların ortalama yaşı 64,0±16,1 idi. Olguların %48,1'i erkek, %51,9'u kadındı.Ortalama takip süresi 15,3±12,3 ay idi. Gözlerin %66,6'sında trikiyazis üst kapakta, %16,6'sında alt kapakta ve %16,6'sında ise her iki kapakta izlendi. Trikiyazisin ciddiyeti %54,5 hafif, %45,5 ciddi olarak sınıflandırıldı. Trikiyazisli gözlerin %25'inde trahom veya skatrisyel konjunktivit, %19,4'ünde kronik blefarite sekonder, %9,1'inde konjenital kirpik malpozisyonu ve %45,5'inde spesifik bir etyoloji saptanmadı. İlk radyofrekans ablasyon uygulaması sonrasında başarı oranı %90,9, ikinci uygulama sonrası %100 idi. Sonuç: Bu olgu serisinde radyofrekans elektrocerrahi ablasyon yönteminin kolay uygulanabilen, trikiyazis tedavisinde etkili ve güvenli bir yöntemolduğu görülmüştür
