Combined Trabeculectomy And Phacoemulsification : Intraocular Pressure Control After Two Site Approach.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Phacoemulsification and the use of foldable lenses increases the success rate of combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy.It has been argued that the phacoemulcification incision separate from the trabeculectomy incision reduces postoperative scarring of the scleral flap and conjuctiva and improves the results of the filtration surgery.The combined surgery with seperate sites was performed on 33 eyes of 33 patients in the Department of Ophthalmology Govt Medical College Srinagar between January 2015 and July 2017.The control of IOP after combined surgery was the parameter studied . It was observed that 78.8 % cases had controlled IOP after 6 months follow up without any drugs while as 21.2% cases required drugs less than before to control the Intra Ocular Pressure. Thus we can safely conclude that combined cataract and trabeculectomy surgery is a procedure that should be accepted for the efficacy, safety and repeatability of results.
