EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRABECULECTOMY USING RETRACTABLE SUTURE TECHNIQUE IN THE TREATMENT OF GLAUCOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Evaluating the effectiveness of trabeculectomy using retractable suture technique in the treatment of glaucoma. Subjects and methods:A non-comparative interventional study of 19 glaucoma patient with indications for trabeculectomy at nghe an general friendship hospital from March 2017 to October 2017 Results: 100% of cases after withdrawal only have corrected intraocular pressure. The average rate of IOP correction after surgery was 49.19%. After trabeculectomy, the mean IOP decreased from 32.63 ± 4.99 mmHg before treatment to 16.58 ± 1.17 mmHg after 1 week of trabeculectomy, This difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Vision stabilized and improved after surgery. 100% of Anterior chamber is good after thread draw. Filtering bleb is quite and good accounted for 89.5%. No complications to treat
