ABSTRACT
Propósito Conocer las cirugías de glaucoma más frecuentes entre los miembros de la Sociedad Española de Glaucoma (SEG).MétodosUna encuesta anónima de 10 preguntas fue enviada a los socios de la SEG en enero, febrero y julio de 2019 para conocer sus preferencias en las cirugías de glaucoma.Variables a estudiar Edad, tipo de glaucoma, tipo de cirugía realizada, estrategia antifibrótica usada o bien implante de las últimas 10 cirugías realizadas desde la recepción de la encuesta. La experiencia del cirujano se muestra según los años de práctica.Resultados Un total de 97 oftalmólogos repartidos por toda la geografía del país respondieron la encuesta, teniendo el 63,4% más de 10 años de experiencia. El glaucoma más frecuente intervenido fue el glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto, representando un 60,6% del total. La cirugía más realizada fue la esclerectomía profunda no perforante (EPNP) con el 37,3% de las cirugías, seguida por el 17,6% de trabeculectomía, 14,1% del microshunt de colágeno (XEN® Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA) y 10,5% de dispositivos de drenaje. Un 21,7% del total fueron reintervenciones y de estas, en el 27,3% se utilizó un dispositivo de drenaje y en el 20,3% trabeculectomía. Un 47,3% de las cirugías fueron combinadas con facoemulsificación. En un 54,8% se usó únicamente mitomicina C (MMC), en un 8,2% de los casos se usó únicamente matriz de colágeno (Ologen®, Aeon Astron Corporation, Taipei, Taiwán) y en un 13,7% la combinación de MMC y matriz de colágeno. La administración de MMC aplicada en esponja se realizó en el 79% de los casos (de estos, a concentraciones de 0,02% en el 99% y al 0,04% en el 1%) y en el 21% de los casos restante mediante inyección subconjuntival (al 0,01% en el 81% y al 0,02% en el 19% restante).Conclusiones A pesar de que el cirujano de glaucoma domina una gran variedad de técnicas quirúrgicas, la EPNP sigue siendo la técnica quirúrgica más realizada en nuestro país (AU)
Purpose To evaluate the spectrum of glaucoma surgery undertaken among members of the Spanish Glaucoma Society (SEG). Methods A 10 question web-based anonymous survey was mailed through the Annals of the Spanish Glaucoma Society to all its members on January, February and July 2019 to determine their preferred surgical approach. Main outcome measures Age, type of Glaucoma, surgery undertaken, type of anti-scarring strategy and prothesis introduced for the last 10 surgeries since the survey was received. The surgeon experience was registered in years of practice. Results A total of 97 SEG members across the country answered the survey. Sixty-two (63.4%) responders had more than 10 years of experience. Primary open angle glaucoma was the most frequent type of glaucoma (60.6%). The most popular surgery was deep-sclerectomy (37.3%) followed by trabeculectomy (17.6%) and the collagen microshunt (XEN® Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA) (14.1%). Glaucoma drainage device (GDD) was used in 10.5% of the cases. Up to 21.7% of surgeries were reinterventions, where GDD was used in 27.3% and trabeculectomy in 20.3% of the cases. Glaucoma surgery was combined with phacoemulsification in 47.3% of the eyes. Mitomycin C (MMC) was used in 54.8% of the cases, collagen matrix (Ologen®, Aeon Astron Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan) was used alone in 8.2% of the cases and in 13.7% combined with MMC. MMC was used in a soaked sponge in 79% of cases (concentrations of 0.02% in 99% and 0.04% in 1%) and in 21% of cases MMC was injected subconjunctivally (concentrations of 0.01% in 81% and 0.02% in 19%) (AU)

PURPOSE: To evaluate the spectrum of glaucoma surgery undertaken among members of the Spanish Glaucoma Society (SEG). METHODS: A 10 question web-based anonimous survey was mailed through the Annals of the Spanish Glaucoma Society to all its members on January, February and July 2019 to determine their preferred surgical approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Age, type of Glaucoma, surgery undertaken, type of anti-scarring strategy and prothesis introduced for the last 10 surgeries since the survey was received. The surgeon experience was registered in years of practice. RESULTS: A total of 97 SEG members across the country answered the survey. Sixty-two (63.4%) responders had more than 10 years of experience. Primary open angle glaucoma was the most frequent type of glaucoma (60.6%). The most popular surgery was deep-sclerectomy (37.3%) followed by trabeculectomy (17,6%) and the collagen microshunt (XEN® Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA) (14.1%). Glaucoma drainage device (GDD) was used in 10.5% of the cases. Up to 21.7% of surgeries were reinterventions, where GDD was used in 27.3% and trabeculectomy in 20.3% of the cases. Glaucoma surgery was combined with phacoemulsification in 47.3% of the eyes. Mitomycin C (MMC) was used in 54,8% of the cases, collagen matrix (Ologen®, Aeon Astron Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan) was used alone in 8.2% of the cases and in 13,7% combined with MMC. MMC was used in a soaked sponge in 79% of cases (concentrations of 0.02% in 99% and 0.04% in 1%) and in 21% of cases MMC was injected subconjunctivally (concentrations of 0,01% in 81% and 0.02% in 19%). CONCLUSIONS: Although the glaucoma surgeon performs a wide range of surgical techniques, deep sclerectomy remains the most widely used surgical technique in Spain. Combined cataract and glaucoma surgery is performed almost in half of the patients and MMC is the most frequently selected antifibrotic agent, alone or combined with collagen matrix. The new minimal invasive surgical techniques represent the 20% of the total.

Between 1966 and December 1979, 58 patients with renovascular hypertension were surgically treated at our center. Follow-up was a minimum of one year in all patients and in all cases permeability of revascularization was assessed through angiography from one to six months after surgery. The mean follow-up was 39 months. Thirty-eight (65.5%) were male and 20 (34.6%) female. Age of onset was between 3 and 53 years (mean 36.3 years). Etiology was arteriosclerotic in 27 cases and fibrous dysplasia in all its manifestations in another 27, in 2 cases vascular compression due to retroperitoneal fibrosis and renal hypoplasia in the remaining two. In 4 cases lesions were bilateral. The cure rate was 37 patients (63.8%), Improvement in 16 (27.6%), while there was no improvement in 5 (8.6%). Surgical mortality rate was nil. The different techniques used, indications, long and short term complications and different results according to etiology are discussed.
