Purpose; Was to provide a solution to the problem of persistent silicone oil induced glaucoma (SOIG), which represents a
common type of intractable glaucoma that usually adds to the hazards of complicated vitreoretinal surgeries. The trial aimed to
evaluate the efficacy and safety of a quadruple approach of combined lines of glaucoma treatment.
Methods 17 eyes of 17 patients presented with SOIG were included in this controlled non- randomized prospective clinical trial.
All eyes underwent trabeculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin-c (MMC) application plus bevacizumab injection (1.25mg)
together with early postoperative topical MMC drops (0.03mg/m1). Trans-scleral diode cyclophotocoagulation (TSDCP) was
applied late when indicated The main outcome results included cumulative probability of surgical success, lOP values, number
of antiglaucoma drugs needed. and BC VA. |
