Initial experience with phacoemulsification and goniotomy using the Kahook dual blade in advanced open-angle glaucoma: Six-month outcomes in Indian eyes
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to report our initial experience on the outcomes of phacoemulsification in combination with goniotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in eyes with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS: The outcomes of phaco-goniotomy with KDB in advanced OAG in Indian eyes...

description | PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to report our initial experience on the outcomes of phacoemulsification in combination with goniotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in eyes with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS: The outcomes of phaco-goniotomy with KDB in advanced OAG in Indian eyes were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the Hodapp-Anderson-Parrish criteria of visual field defects, severe glaucoma (mean deviation on standard automated perimetry worse than 12 dB) was considered as advance glaucoma. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected through 6 months of follow-up. Outcome measures included antiglaucoma medications (AGM), the proportion of eyes achieving >1AGM reduction, intraocular pressure (IOP), and visual acuity. RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) number of AGM in eyes that underwent phaco-KDB goniotomy reduced from 2 (2,3) at baseline to 1 (0,1) at 6 months (P = 0.002). Median IOP reduced from 20 (20,26) mmHg at baseline to 14 (12,15) mmHg at 6 months (P = 0.02). The proportion of eyes achieving >1 medication reduction was 88% eyes (8/9). Adverse events noted were IOP spike (22 mmHg) in 2 eyes and intra-op hyphema in 1 eye on postoperative day-1, both resolved in a week with conservative management. Except one eye with central corneal scar due to prior pterygium surgery, 8 eyes had 20/20 vision at 1 week which was maintained till last follow-up. CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification with KDB Goniotomy significantly lowered the need for AGM with moderate IOP reduction in advanced OAG eyes. There were no serious complications and the visual recovery was good and early. |
