“…Overall, combined KDB plus cataract surgery has a great decrease in IOP measurement postoperatively. This finding again confirms the finding by Dorairaj (2018), which emphasizes the effectiveness of surgery in the reduction of IOP [7]. As evidenced in the findings of the present study, IOP reduced with time since surgery [8].…”

Intraocular pressure defects remain a significant problem in the medical field. Several methods have been employed to help reduce the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP), all of which have their merits and demerits. Considered in this paper are surgery and the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB; Kahook, New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) process invented and tested during previous studies to reduce IOP. This study examines both methods; first, in combination with cataract surgery, and then, separately, to assess their effectiveness in reducing IOP. Objective The focus of the research is to establish the effectiveness and safety associated with goniotomy while utilizing the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) procedure for reducing IOP and bringing down the reliance on hypotensive agents in a variety of glaucoma types, either independently or when combined with phacoemulsification (phaco) within the follow-up duration (four to seven months). Methods and design The setting was the outpatient clinics in Al-Maghrabi Hospital in Medina. It involved the use of a retrospective study for the study design. Fifty eyes from a total of 45 patients were reviewed. There was KDB in 10 eyes while KDB was integrated with the cataract surgical procedure in 40 eyes.

“…Also, in the KDB only group, the decrease in the number of medications used was significant (P-value=0.00). This finding was also the same in the study by Dorairaj (2018), where they emphasized that the method with the greatest effectiveness to reduce IOP was surgery [7]. However, the method also gives rise to other complications.…”

“…Most of the studies lasted for at least 1 year, with 26 (30%) lasting for 2 or more years. Many of the technologies and surgical techniques were each described by a small number of prospective studies ( Figure 1) including endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP), [7][8][9][10][11] MicroPulse, 12,13 Ultrasound-based procedures, 14,15 YAG gonio procedures, [16][17][18] micro trabecular procedures, [19][20][21][22][23] Diathermy-based procedures, 24,25 Excimer Laser, 26 Kahook Dual Blade (KDB), 27,28 Hydrus, [29][30][31] and CyPass. [32][33][34][35][36] iStent, Trabectome, and Xen had the highest number of prospective studies.…”

Glaucoma is a common blinding disease; while there is no cure, effective treatments include medications, laser, and incisional surgery. There is significant interest from patients and doctors to develop safer surgical options throughout the spectrum of disease, to minimize treatment burden in mild glaucoma patients and to minimize risk of complications in patients needing more aggressive treatment. Surgical procedures called Minimally or Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) are growing in popularity. Eightyseven prospective studies on MIGS were identified and assessed for quality. Most (74%) did not have a control group. Twelve of the highest quality were reviewed. MIGS procedures appeared to have fewer complications, and lowered intraocular pressure, and reduced medication use. Studies were limited by small sample size, narrow spectrum of glaucomatous disease, and/or conflicts of interest. There is a need for high quality, independently funded and performed, comparative studies on the MIGS to help make treatment decisions.

“…In our study, the KDB group as a standalone procedure recorded a 41.7% drop in mean IOP from baseline (17.25±7.45 to 12.67±1.15mmHg) while topical medications reduced by 1.25 (55.5%). This group has 50% of eyes with moderate-to-severe POAG.Dorairaj, et al in prospective study also multicenter reported mean IOP reduction from baseline of above 20% at 12 months[11]. Mean IOP decreased from 16.8±0.6 to 12.4±0.3 (p<0.001), a 26.2% reduction.…”

Objectives: To describe short-term efficacy of goniotomy with trabecular meshwork excision using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB, New World Medical Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, (POAG) either as a standalone or plus Phacoemulsification (phaco). Method and Patients: A retrospective review of 12 eyes of 9 patients who had goniotomy with Kahook dual blade either as a standalone or combined with cataract surgery by phacoemulsification from April 2017 to July 2018 at Eye Foundation Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos. The patients were follow-up for a minimum of 6 months. Results: The mean age of the patients was 66.4±8.8 years. Mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) for all eyes was 18.58±5.42mmHg. From day 1 through the 6th Month of postoperative follow-up, the mean IOP ranged from 18.58±9.26mmHg to 12.27±1.68mmHg representing reductions of 0-6.31mmHg (0-34%; p<0.05 at each time point versus baseline except for day 1). For the Phaco+KDB group, the baseline mean IOP was 19.25±4.56mmHg while the mean IOP postoperatively from day 1 to 6 months ranged from 19.13±8.99mmHg to 12.13±1.89mmHg representing reductions of 0.12mmHg to 5.13mmHg (0.6-30.2%; p<0.05 only from 1 month to 6 months). At baseline, the mean IOP for the eyes that had KDB goniotomy as a standalone was 17.25±7.45mmHg and postoperatively ranged from 17.50±11.09mmHg to 12.67±1.67mmHg representing reductions of -0.25-9.08mmHg (-1.45%-41.7%; p<0.05 at one week, 3 and 6 months only versus baseline). Conclusion: KDB either as a standalone or with phaco recorded at least 30% reduction in IOP after 6 months of followup in these series.
