Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Glaucoma Management

Context:

  • Glaucoma with closed angles presents a significant challenge in ophthalmology.
  • Acute and prophylactic treatment strategies are crucial for managing this condition.
  • The Charleux and Etienne technique offers a potential surgical solution.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of retrograde transcorneal iridectomy for glaucoma with closed angles.
  • To assess the complication rate and outcomes of this surgical intervention.
  • To determine the feasibility of this procedure in both acute and prophylactic settings.

Summary:

  • Retrograde transcorneal iridectomy was performed on 27 eyes (20 patients) with closed-angle glaucoma.
  • The procedure was applied to 12 eyes experiencing acute attacks and 15 eyes for prophylactic treatment.
  • No post- or intraoperative complications were observed, with the operation being simple and yielding good results.

Impact:

  • This technique provides a safe and effective surgical option for closed-angle glaucoma.
  • The procedure's simplicity and minimal complications suggest a favorable risk-benefit profile.
  • A short hospitalization period of 2-3 days enhances patient recovery and reduces healthcare burden.
