Abstract

PURPOSE: To determine the safety and efficacy of the use of lamellar donor cornea to cover the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant tube. MATERIALS-METHODS: Fifty-one cases of AGV implantation surgery performed between August 2004 and March 2007 which is followed for at least 16 months were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 28 patients in whom lamellar donor cornea was used to cover the subconjuctival portion of the AGV tube and Group B consisted of 23 patients in whom scleral flap was used. Groups A and B were compared for intraocular pressure control and complications related to the surgical procedure. RESULTS: The patients were examined at regular intervals postoperatively, and clinical findings, intraocular pressures and complications were noted. In Group A, no clinical findings of conjunctival, scleral or intraocular inflammation were observed. Lamellar donor cornea was tolerated well in all patients. No tube exposure was observed in both groups. No statistically significant difference was observed between two groups in terms of intraocular pressure control and complications. CONCLUSION: Lamellar donor corneas could be safely used in AGV implantation surgery to cover the subconjunctival part of the implant.

Özet

AMAÇ: Ahmet glokom valf (AGV) implant tüpünün kaplanmasında lamellar donör kornea (LDK) kullanılmasının etkinliğini ve güvenilirliğini araştırmak. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Kliniğimizde Ağustos 2004 ile Mart 2007 tarihleri arasında AGV implant cerrahisi uygulanan ve en az 16 aylık takibi bulunan 51 olgu çalışma kapsamına alındı. AGV implant cerrahisi esnasında tüpün subkonjonktival kısmının kaplanmasında LDK kullanılan 28 olgu Grup A’yı oluştururken, sklera flebi kullanılan 23 olgu Grup B’yi oluşturdu. Her iki grup göz içi basıncı kontrolü ve komplikasyonlar yönünden karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Olgular ameliyattan sonra düzenli aralıklarla takip edildi ve muayene bulguları, göz içi basınçları ve komplikasyonlar kaydedildi. Grup A’da LDK’ya bağlı konjonktival, skleral veya intraoküler inflamasyona ait klinik bulguya rastlanmadı. Tüm gözlerde LDK’nın iyi tolere edildiği gözlendi. İki grupta da tüpün açığa çıkması komplikasyonu gözlenmedi. Göz içi basıncı kontrolü ve komplikasyonlar açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. SONUÇ: AGV implant cerrahisinde implantın konjonktiva altında kalan kısmının kaplanmasında lameller kornea greftlerinin güvenle kullanılabileceği tespit edilmiştir.
