In our study, we wanted to see whether combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with subconjuntival implantation of collagen matrix implant lead to further lowering of IOP and improve success rate as compared to combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy alone in eyes with primary congenital glaucoma.
Methods. It was a prospective randomized control study. The sample was 20 eyes and out of them 4 of them were bilateral and 12 were unilateral cases. The study was done from September 2012 to June 2013.
Combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy was performed in 10 eyes (Group 1) and combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with subconjunctival collagen matrix implant (Ologen, Biogen Idec) implantation in 10 eyes (Group 2). Examination was done under general anesthesia at 15 days, 3 month and 6 months intervals.
Results. The change of IOP was significant when the preoperative IOP was compared with postoperative IOP in both the groups and the trend of IOP was comparable in both the groups.
In combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy group (Group 1) success was seen in 80% (n=8 ) of the patients among them 60% (n=6) showed IOP control without any medication and 20% (n=2) showed IOP control with one medication and 20% (n=2) had more than the IOP that is required for success.
In combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with subconjunctival collagen matrix implantation group (Group 2), 90% (n=9) showed success. Among them 80% (n=8) showed control of IOP without any medication and 10% (n=1) showed control of IOP with one medication and 10% (n=1) had more than the IOP that is required for success.
Conclusion. Small sample, limited period of follow-up (6 months) makes it difficult to deduce firm conclusions. The results of both the groups were comparable and both the procedures can be taken up as primary procedures in case of congenital glaucoma. Larger studies with long-term follow-up are required to deduce firm conclusions. |
