RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of canalicular laceration repair using the Masterka® monocanalicular intubation system. METHODS: this interventional case series included the data from 30 patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair with a 30-mm pushed monocanalicular stent (Masterka®) and suturing of the lacerated canaliculus with 8/0 Vicryl interrupted sutures. Operative details and complications were meticulously noted. Stent removal took place as early as 3 months post-surgery, with functional success defined as the absence of epiphora four years after surgery. RESULTS: The average age of patients was 28.5±26.3 years, with 20 out of 30 patients (66.6%) being male. Lower canaliculus involvement was noted in 23 patients (76.6%), while the upper canaliculus was affected in 7 patients (23.4%). On average, patients presented for medical attention within approximately one day of sustaining with injuries, and all underwent successful repairs. Notably, functional success was observed in all 30 cases, constituting a 100% success rate. Stent-related complications were encountered in two patients (6.6%). One patient reported stent removal after an average follow-up period of one month, while the other developed a punctal granuloma one-month post-surgery, which regressed following one month of topical steroid treatment. CONCLUSION: Repairing canalicular lacerations using the self-retaining Masterka® monocanalicular intubation system demonstrated a notable achievement in long-term functional success while presenting minimal complications. To further substantiate these promising results, an interventional study that includes a comparison analysis with other types of intubation methods is warranted.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study reports the combination of noncontact tonometry and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in mass glaucoma screening in the Lebanese population. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included Lebanese individuals who participated in a glaucoma screening campaign in March 2018 and March 2019 for World Glaucoma Week. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by noncontact tonometry. Optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scans were obtained using SD-OCT. Glaucoma suspects were defined as individuals having an IOP above 21mmHg in at least one eye and/or RNFL thinning in either the superior or the inferior quadrant. RESULTS: Among the 1116 individuals who were examined, 15.5% were found to be glaucoma suspects based upon their IOP readings, 15.5% based on OCT, and 3.0% based on both criteria combined. The mean vertical and horizontal disc diameter was 1.75±0.23mm and 1.57±0.22mm, respectively. Eyes that were suspects by OCT with normal IOP had thinner corneas when compared to eyes with normal OCT and high IOP (512.25µm vs. 559.12µm, P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: SD-OCT can be an easy and relatively fast component of mass glaucoma screening in addition to IOP measurement. Further studies are needed to establish this combination as a valid glaucoma screening method.
