SCIENTIFIC REPORT Otago Glaucoma Surgery Outcome Study: long term results of cataract extraction combined with Molteno implant insertion or trabeculectomy in primary glaucoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Aims: To describe the long term results of cases of cataract extraction combined with either Molteno implant insertion or trabeculectomy for primary open angle glaucoma. Methods: This prospective case series followed cases which had cataract extraction and Molteno implant insertion (45 eyes) or trabeculectomy (94 eyes) followed up for a mean of 5.3 years and 3.9 years respectively. Results: Cataract extraction and Molteno implant insertion or trabeculectomy controlled the intraocular pressure at 21 mmHg or less with a probability of 1.00 (95% CI 0.93 to 1.00) at 10 years or more after operation and 0.94 (95% CI 0.89 to 0.99) and 0.73 (95% CI 0.46 to 0.99) at five and 10 years after operation respectively. Conclusions: Cataract extraction combined with insertion of Molteno implants or trabeculectomy controlled the intraocular pressure in 100% (45/45) and 94% (88/94) of cases respectively.

متن کاملCombined intracapsular cataract extraction and trabeculectomy with Severin five-loop posterior chamber intraocular lens.
The efficacy and safety of a combined operation for cataract and glaucoma is established. This procedure of combined cataract extraction and trabeculectomy is taken one step further by the simultaneous insertion of the Severin intraocular posterior chamber lens implant. The results of treating 24 eyes in terms of control of glaucoma are discussed. Postoperative miotics may be required to improv...
متن کاملLong-term results of Molteno implant insertion in cases of neovascular glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To describe the long-term outcomes of cases of neovascular glaucoma drained by Molteno implants. METHODS A prospective study of 145 eyes (130 patients) followed up for a mean of 3.3 years (range, 0.02 year [5 days] to 18.1 years) in the province of Otago, New Zealand, from 1979 to 2002. RESULTS Insertion of a Molteno implant controlled the intraocular pressure at 21 mm Hg or less ...
متن کاملInsertion of a foldable hydrophobic IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula in cases with Microincision cataract surgery combined with trabeculectomy
BACKGROUND The use of conventional foldable hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in microincision cataract surgery (MICS) currently requires wound enlargement. We describe a combined surgical technique of MICS and trabeculectomy with insertion of a foldable IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula. METHODS After completion of MICS through two side port incisions, a 3.2 mm keratome is used to e...
متن کاملCombined surgery in the treatment of patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma.
The literature on combined surgery in the treatment of patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma was comprehensively studied, and all aspects and variations of the combined procedure were assessed. Phacoemulsification has improved the success rate and reduced the complication rate previously associated with extracapsular cataract extraction combined with trabeculectomy. A mean redu...
