To compare 6 month outcomes of bleb needling performed in the clinic vs. the operating room (OR) in adult glaucoma patients with failed bleb.
A retrospective case series of 47 eyes from 41 glaucoma patients who received needling with mitomycin C (MMC) of scarred bleb from prior bleb-forming procedures in clinic (32 eyes) vs. the OR (15 eyes), including trabeculectomy (14 eyes), ExPress shunt (16 eyes), and ab-interno XEN gel stent (17 eyes). The primary outcome was needling success, defined as IOP ≤ 18 mmHg on 0 glaucoma medications without requiring an additional IOP lowering procedure within 6 months after needling.
At 6 months, bleb needling success rate was similar when performed in the clinic vs. in the OR (28% vs. 20%, P = 0.54). Success rate was not statistically different in patients with prior trabeculectomy, ExPress shunt, and XEN gel stent (29% vs. 38% vs. 12%, P = 0.26). When comparing clinic vs. the OR needling procedures at 6 months, there was no difference in mean IOP (14.2 vs. 14.9 mmHg, P = 0.73), mean glaucoma medications (1.4 vs. 1.7, P = 0.69), additional IOP-lowering procedure rate (16% vs. 27%, P = 0.37), or complication rate (0% vs. 7%, P = 0.32).
Bleb needling with MMC in clinic may be a safe and effective way to revise failed bleb after trabeculectomy, ExPress shunt, and XEN gel stent procedures when compared to needling in the OR.
比较在诊所与手术室(OR)对失败滤过泡行针拨术治疗的成年青光眼患者的 6 个月结果。
对 41 例青光眼患者的 47 只眼进行回顾性病例系列研究,这些患者均因先前滤过泡成形术中形成的滤过泡瘢痕而接受了 MMC 针拨术,其中 32 只眼在诊所、15 只眼在 OR 进行。这些患者先前的滤过泡成形术包括小梁切除术(14 只眼)、ExPress 分流器(16 只眼)和内路 XEN 凝胶支架(17 只眼)。主要结局是针拨术成功,定义为在 6 个月内无需进一步降低眼压的情况下,眼压≤18mmHg,无需使用 0 种降眼压药物。
6 个月时,在诊所与 OR 行针拨术的成功率相似(28% vs. 20%,P=0.54)。在有既往小梁切除术、ExPress 分流器和 XEN 凝胶支架的患者中,成功率无统计学差异(29% vs. 38% vs. 12%,P=0.26)。比较 6 个月时诊所与 OR 行针拨术的情况,两组平均眼压(14.2mmHg vs. 14.9mmHg,P=0.73)、平均降眼压药物(1.4 种 vs. 1.7 种,P=0.69)、进一步降低眼压的手术率(16% vs. 27%,P=0.37)或并发症发生率(0% vs. 7%,P=0.32)均无差异。
与 OR 针拨术相比,在诊所行 MMC 针拨术治疗小梁切除术、ExPress 分流器和 XEN 凝胶支架术后失败滤过泡可能是一种安全有效的方法。
