Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sinustrabeculectomy (STE) and simultaneous micropulse laser cyclocoagulation (mLCC) in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.

Material and Methods: Data regarding the efficacy and safety of STE (25 eyes) and simultaneous STE and mLCC (25 eyes) in patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma with a follow-up period of 12 months were analyzed.

Results: After STE, the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) decreased from 28.2±5.8 mmHg to 23.7±7.0 mmHg after 12 months. After STE with simultaneous mLCC the IOP decreased from 30.6±6.7 mmHg to 20.2±3.2 mmHg. After surgery, antihypertensive drugs were prescribed in 7 of 25 (28%) eyes of the main group, and in 12 of 25 eyes (48%) (p<0.05) of the control group. There were no cases of persistent hypotension, postoperative iridocyclitis, ocular hypertension with ostium blockage, or phthisis bulbi.

Conclusions: STE with a simultaneous mLCC is a more effective and safer method of treating angle-closure glaucoma.
