Эффективность десцеметогониопунктуры в зависимости от сроков ее проведения после микроинвазивной непроникающей глубокой склерэктомии у пациентов с глаукомой

Abstract

Purpose. Evaluation of the efficacy of descemethogoniopuncture (DGP) at various times after microinvasive non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (MNPDS) in patients with glaucoma. Material and methods. The analysis of the results of DGP in 64 eyes of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma after previously performed MNPDS. According to the timing of DGP after MNPDS, the patients were divided into 3 groups. In the 1st group BPH was performed after 1–2 months (22 eyes), the 2nd group – after 3–4 months (21 eyes), the 3rd group after 5–6 months (21 eyes). The follow-up period was 1 year. Results. The level of intraocular pressure before DGP averaged 15.1±0.6 mm Hg in group 1, 17.5±0.9 mm Hg in group 2, and group – 18.6±0.7 mm Hg. After DGP, 13.1±0.4 mm Hg, 14.6±0.7 mm Hg, 16.1±0.5 mm Hg respectively. According to ultrasound biomicroscopy, the highest and extended intrascleral cavities and tunnels, as well as a thin loose trabeculodescemet membrane (TDM), were observed in the eyes of the 1st group. With an increase in the time after MNPDS, there was a compaction of TDM, a decrease in the height and length of the intrascleral cavity and tunnels. 12 months after DGP, the most pronounced antihypertensive effect without antihypertensive therapy occurred in group 1 – 55% of cases compared with groups 2 and 3 (33% and 14% respectively). Conclusion. The greatest efficiency was shown by performing DGP within 1–2 months after MNPDS, which is associated with the minimum development of proliferative processes in the intrascleral outflow tract in the early stages after this operation.
