Phacotrabeculectomy offers comparable intraocular pressure control to two-stage surgery for combined cataract and glaucoma. This combined approach allows for earlier visual rehabilitation in patients with both conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Glaucoma and Cataract Research

Background:

  • Cataract and glaucoma frequently coexist, necessitating combined surgical approaches.
  • Traditional management involves staged procedures, potentially delaying visual recovery.
  • Phacotrabeculectomy offers a single-stage alternative for managing both conditions simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phacotrabeculectomy.
  • To compare phacotrabeculectomy with a two-stage approach (trabeculectomy followed by phacoemulsification).
  • To assess outcomes including intraocular pressure reduction and visual acuity.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective matched comparison of 53 eyes undergoing phacotrabeculectomy with 53 eyes undergoing staged surgery.

  • Patients were matched for diagnosis, age, gender, race, and preoperative glaucoma medications.
  • Key outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, visual acuity, medication use, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Both phacotrabeculectomy and the two-stage approach achieved comparable mean IOP reduction at 6 months and 1 year follow-up (P<0.1).
    • Visual acuity outcomes and complication rates were similar between the two surgical groups.
    • Phacotrabeculectomy demonstrated a trend towards slightly greater IOP reduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Phacotrabeculectomy provides effective intraocular pressure control comparable to staged surgery.
    • The single-stage combined procedure offers the advantage of earlier visual rehabilitation.
    • Phacotrabeculectomy is a safe and effective option for patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma.
