TitelSafe Trabeculectomy technique: long-term outcome
Abstract Nr.173
DoelTo assess the long-term outcome of a new trabeculectomy technique.
MethodesTrabeculectomy was performed using an anterior chamber maintainer, a punch technique, and a combination of adjustable and releasable sutures. The main outcome measures were the postoperative intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and the frequency of early postoperative complications .
ResultatenThe mean pre- and postoperative IOP at 12 months were 21.2 +/- 6 and 12.8 +/- 3.0 mmHg, respectively. All patients had an IOP of <21 mmHg, 90.9% had an IOP <18 and 61.4% had an IOP <14mmHg. Postoperative complications were infrequent: flat anterior chamber (1.8%), bleb leakage (0%) or hypotony (1.5%) beyond 3 weeks, or choroidal detachment at any timepoint (8.9%).
ConclusieThis novel trabeculectomy method offers the possibility to tailor the IOP postoperatively with a minimum of postoperative complications and excellent IOP control.
