Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation Combined with Trabeculotomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma and Coexisting Cataract

Abstract: Objective: To study the outcome of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculotomy. Methods: We performed trabeculotomy combined with phacoemulsification and foldable lens implantation in 25 eyes with open-angle glaucoma and coexisting cataract in 18 patients. The series comprised 9 males (13 eyes) and 9 females (12 eyes). Mean age of the patients was 73.4 ± 10.9 years (45–87 years). Mean follow-up period was 14.3 ± 6.0 months (6–24 months). Results: The preoperative intraocul… Show more

“…The main advantage of trabeculectomy is that it can achieve lower IOP levels than can phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. 10,17,20 The ophthalmologist must consider several factors when making treatment decisions for eyes with glaucoma. If the preoperative IOP is 20 mm Hg or greater and a target IOP of 18 mm Hg is adequate and 1 or more risk factors exist (eg, poor patient compliance with glaucoma drops, shallow anterior chamber, family history of glaucoma), phacoemulsification with IOL implantation may be the best option.…”

“…Enquanto a ocorrência de pequenos hifemas que se resolvem nos primeiros dias do pós-operatório é muito freqüente, os hifemas duradouros são de ocorrên-cia bem rara nas trabeculotomias (4,5,15,16,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)33,41) . Parece que os adultos são mais susceptíveis a esses últimos que as crianças (4,5,22,25,31,33) .…”

“…Parece que os adultos são mais susceptíveis a esses últimos que as crianças (4,5,22,25,31,33) . Quanto à ocorrência de picos hipertensivos no PO, eles não foram observados, ao contrário de sua ocorrência mais freqüente nos casos de trabeculotomia isolada (15,16,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)29,32) . Enfim, a utilização do procedimento combinado trotrec se fundamentou na necessidade especial da obtenção de um resultado favorável, com o menor número de procedimentos possível, e objetivando-se níveis mais baixos de PIO.…”
