Journal Title: Guoji Yanke Zazhi - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 8
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation(TSCP)for glaucoma secondary to vitrectomy. <p>METHODS: A retrospective review was performed within 20 patients(20 eyes)with glaucoma secondary to vitrectomy underwent TSCP in our hospital from October 2014 to October 2016. The follow-up time was 3mo. The postoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP)and complications were observed. <p>RESULTS: One month after operation, the postoperative IOP increased in 9 cases. Another 4 eyes were performed TSCP again, and three of them got the normal IOP recovery. At the last follow-up, visual acuity had no significant changes(<i>P</i>=0.655); IOP was effectively controlled in 14(70%)patients. Meanwhile, the mean postoperative IOP(24.6±11.4mmHg)was statistically reduced than the mean preoperative IOP(42.3±5.9mmHg, <i>P</i><0.05). No serious complications, like hypotony and suprachoroidal hemorrhage, had been observed during 3-month follow-up. <p>CONCLUSION: TSCP procedure is a safe, effective, repeatable surgery for patients with glaucoma secondary to vitrectomy.
