Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund: Zur Evaluation der Intraokulardruck(IOP)-Änderungen nach Phakoemulsifikation (Phako)
bei Hinterkammerlinsenimplantation (PC-IOL) in Augen mit primär-chronischem Offenwinkelglaukom
(POAG) mindestens zwei Jahre nach Operation. Patienten und Methoden: In dieser retrospektiven Studie waren 19 Augen von 13 POAG-Patienten mit regulärer
Clear-cornea-Phako mit Hinterkammerlinsenimplantation und einem postoperativen Nachuntersuchungszeitraum
von mindestens zwei Jahren eingeschlossen. Kein Patient hatte vorhergehende intraokulare
Eingriffe oder eine Argonlasertrabekuloplastik. Ergebnisse: Der durchschnittliche präoperative IOP lag bei 16,9 ± 2 mm Hg. Der durchschnittliche
Nachbeobachtungszeitraum lag bei 36 ± 11,8 Monaten. In der ersten postoperativen Woche
zeigte sich ein signifikanter Abfall des durchschnittlichen IOP (13,8 ± 3,0 mm Hg;
p = 0,000). Nach 1 und 4 Monaten postoperativ war der IOP weiterhin signifikant geringer
als präoperativ. 8 Monate postoperativ zeigte der IOP einen signifikanten Anstieg
auf 15,9 ± 2,9 mm Hg (p = 0,022) im Hinblick auf die erste postoperative Woche, mit
einem erneuten signifikanten Abfall auf 15,5 ± 2,6 mm Hg (p = 0,020) nach 1 Jahr postoperativ
und annähernd auch im 2. und 3. postoperativen Jahr. Nach 4 Jahren lag der durchschnittliche
IOP bei 15,0 ± 3,1 mm Hg (p = 0,216), wobei die statistische Nichtsignifikanz auf
die zu geringe Patientenanzahl zurückgeführt wird. In 79 % (15 Augen) unserer Fälle
blieb die antiglaukomatöse Therapie unverändert, in 21 % (4 Augen) war die Therapie
reduziert. Schlussfolgerungen: Eine komplikationslose Phakoemulsifikation mit Hinterkammerlinsenimplantation in
gut kontrollierten primär-chronischen Offenwinkelglaukomaugen war assoziiert mit einem
statistisch signifikanten langfristigen Abfall des Introkulardrucks, die postoperative
antiglaukomatöse Medikation konnte in mehr als 20 % der Augen reduziert werden.
Abstract
Background: To evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification (Phaco)
with posterior chamber lens (PC IOL) implantation in eyes with primary open-angle
glaucoma (POAG) at least 2 years after surgery. Patients and methods: 19 eyes of 13 POAG patients who underwent uneventful clear cornea Phaco with PC IOL
implantation and with follow-up of at least 2 years after surgery were included in
this retrospective study. None of them had previous intraocular surgery or argon laser
trabeculoplasty. Results: The average preoperative IOP was 16.9 ± 2.02 mm Hg. The average follow-up of was
36 ± 11.8 months. 1 week after surgery a significant decrease in average IOP was observed
(13.8 ± 3.0 mm Hg; P = 0.000). 1 and 4 months after surgery IOP was still significantly
lower than preoperatively. 8 months after surgery IOP significantly increased to 15.9
mm Hg (± 2.9 mm Hg; P = 0.022) with respect to 1 week postoperatively, but then again
significantly decreased to 15.5 mm Hg (± 2.6 mm Hg; P = 0.020) 1 year after surgery
and stayed approximately the same at 2 and 3 years after surgery. After 4 years the
average IOP was 15.0 mm Hg (± 3.1 mm Hg; P = 0.216), that was statistically insignificant
because of the small number of patients. In 79 % (15 eyes) of our cases medical antiglaucoma
treatment was unchanged, in 21 % (4 eyes) the therapy was reduced. Conclusions: Uneventful Phaco with PC IOL implantation in good medically controlled POAG eyes
was associated with a statistically significant long-term decrease in IOP, allowing
the reduction of postoperative antiglaucoma medications in more than 20 % of the eyes.
