To provide expert consensus and evidence-based current guidelines on treatment technique, postoperative care, expected outcomes and retreatment for MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Treatment (TLT).
A comprehensive search of PubMed led to the identification and analysis of 61 studies on MicroPulse TLT. To provide guidance in areas where there was not enough available literature, a three-round Delphi method was conducted involving 10 international experts in MicroPulse TLT.
The response rate was 70% in the first round, 70% in the second round, and 80% in the third round of the Delphi method. Once all responses were aggregated, a live meeting was held with 90% attendance, and consensus was achieved on each of the findings detailed in this manuscript.
Used within appropriate treatment parameters, with proper technique and patient selection, MicroPulse TLT is a safe and effective treatment for many types and severities of glaucoma. MicroPulse TLT represents a useful addition to the glaucoma armamentarium.
提供关于微脉冲经巩膜激光治疗(TLT)的治疗技术、术后护理、预期结果及再次治疗的专家共识和基于证据的现行指南。
对PubMed进行全面检索,从而识别并分析了61项关于微脉冲TLT的研究。为在文献不足的领域提供指导,采用三轮德尔菲法,涉及10位微脉冲TLT领域的国际专家。
德尔菲法第一轮的回复率为70%,第二轮为70%,第三轮为80%。汇总所有回复后,召开了一次出席率达90%的现场会议,并就本手稿中详细阐述的各项研究结果达成了共识。
在适当的治疗参数范围内,采用适当的技术并进行合适的患者选择,微脉冲TLT对多种类型和严重程度的青光眼是一种安全有效的治疗方法。微脉冲TLT是青光眼治疗手段中的一项有益补充。
