EFFICACY OF TRABECULAR ABLATION THROUGH THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER ANGLE IN OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA

Novytskvy I. Ya, Novytskvy  M. I.

Lviv, Ukraine

22 patients (24 eyes) with open-angle glaucoma were observed. Mean IOP was (26.5+/-2.1) mm Hg with maxi¬mum medication. All patients underwent endotrabeculoectomy. 7 days after surgery IOP significantly (p<0.001) decreased by (7.9+0.6) mm Hg and was (18.5+1.2) mm Hg. After 3 months IOP was (15.9+/-0.1) mm Hg. Three patients were treated with 0.5 % Thymolol drops 2 times daily. One patient underwent repeated surgery — trabecu¬lectomy. After 6 months mean IOP was (18.9+1.3) mm Hg and was stable with using 0.5 % Thymolol drops in two patients 2 times daily and Xalatan drops in two patients once daily.

Conclusion: endotrabeculoectomy leads to significant and stable decrease of IOP and improvement of aqueous humor outflow.
