ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of deep sclerectomy in the surgical treatment of glaucoma one year after surgery. METHODS: 53 eyes of 43 patients (26 male, 27 female) with medically uncontrolled glaucoma of various types, were treated with deep sclerectomy surgery. RESULTS: The mean postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 18.19 S.D. 5.22 mmHg., and the mean preoperative IOP was 26.66 S.D. 5.93 mmHg. We observed a statistically significant reduction in the IOP (p<0.05). Our success criteria were IOP lower than 21 mmHg with or without associated hypotensive medications, no advance in glaucomatous visual field defects and no advance in optic nerve cupping. This was achieved in 88.68% of the cases at 12 months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Deep sclerectomy is an efficient technique to control IOP, with few early post-operative complications.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estimar la eficacia del tratamiento quirurgico del glaucoma mediante la técnica de esclerectomia protunda no perborante (E.P.N.P.) al año de la cirugía.Material y métodos: 53 ojos de 43 pacientes (26 varones, 27 mujeres), con diferentes tipos de glaucomas mal controlados médicamente, fueron sometidos a una esclerectomia protunda no perborante.Resultados: La presión intraocular (P.I.O.) media f¦nal fue de 18,19 D.E. 5,22 mmHg., comparada con la P.I.O. media preoperatoria de 26,66 D.E. 5,93 mmHg. Se observa una reducción de la P.I.O. estadisticamente significativa (p<0,05). Consideramos éxito cuando la P.I.O. era menor de 21 mmHg. Con o sin tratamiento médico hipotensor postoperatorio, y no avanzaban los defectos glaucomatosos en el campo visual y no avanzaba la excavación papilar; consiguiéndolo en el 88,68 por ciento de los casos a los 12 meses.Conclusiones: La esclerectomia profunda no perforante es una técnica eficaz para el control de la P.l.O., con pocas complicaciones.
