Long-term results of combined 1-way phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and trabeculectomy

Abstract

Combined phacoemulsification, posterior chamber IOL implantation, and trabeculectomy was safe and effective in patients with coexisting glaucoma and cataract.

Long-Term Intraocular Pressure Control of Trabeculectomy and Triple Procedure in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Chronic Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

“…This study shows that the 15-year qualified success rates of trabeculectomy in Asians are no different from those reported among Caucasians [22, 23] and better than those reported in Japanese by Sihota et al [10]. Our results of triple procedure – cataract extraction by phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy – are comparable to previous series of combined or 2-stage surgeries [15,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27,28]. …”

“…Antifibrotic agents such as mitomycin C (MMC) have been used in conjunction with both trabeculectomy and triple procedure for wound healing modulation since the early 1980s [11,12,13,14]. For patients with coexisting glaucoma and visually significant cataracts, a triple procedure – cataract extraction by phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy – is an effective approach [15,16,17,18,19]. …”

“…Several studies have shown trabeculectomy and triple procedure to be effective in short- and long-term control of intraocular pressure (IOP) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19], yet few reports appear in the literature regarding the long-term outcome of the triple procedure or comparisons of long-term results between trabeculectomy and triple procedure.…”

Long-term Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation and Progressive Visual Field Deterioration in Patients With Glaucoma and Low Intraocular Pressures After a Triple Procedure

“…16,17 The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of long-term IOP fluctuation and progressive VF deterioration in patients with glaucoma and low IOPs after a triple procedure. One eye of each patient was randomly selected for the study, even if both eyes satisfied the entry criteria.…”

Cirurgia combinada de catarata e glaucoma com ponto escleral perilímbico: técnica cirúrgica e resultados a longo prazo

“…Com relação às complicações pós-operatórias surgidas em 13,33% dos olhos, trata-se de um índice bem inferior quando comparado com outros trabalhos (11)(12)(13) . A realização das cirurgias por um profissional experiente em FACO-TREC, a não utilização de antimetabólitos e a presença do ponto longitudinal perilímbico podem estar associados a estes bons resultados.…”
