A prospective, randomised study of the effect of fixation sutures during phacotrabeculectomy on intraocular pressure and incidence of ptosis.

Abstract:

:We investigated the effects of different intraoperative eyeball fixation techniques (superior rectus muscle suture [MS] and traction suture at the corneal limbus [CS]), on intraocular pressure (IOP) and the incidence of ptosis after phacotrabeculectomy. Forty-one eyes with different glaucoma types which qualified for phacotrabeculectomy were included. Twenty-three and eighteen patients were included in the CS and MS groups, respectively. The IOP, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and margin reflex distance were assessed preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively. Preoperatively, the mean IOPs (± standard deviation) in the CS and MS groups were 23.6 ± 7.3 mmHg and 24.3 ± 6.6 mmHg (p > 0.05), respectively. At 3 and 6 months post-surgery, the mean IOPs were significantly lower in the CS group than in the MS group: 13.9 ± 3.0 mmHg vs. 17.7 ± 3.5 mmHg (p = 0.001), and 13.9 ± 4.9 mmHg vs. 17.2 ± 3.5 mmHg (p = 0.005), respectively (mean difference: 3.9, 95% confidence interval 1.7-6.1). At 12 months, the mean postoperative IOPs were 15.2 ± 3.5 mmHg and 14.9 ± 3.6 mmHg in the CS and MS groups, respectively (p > 0.05). At 6 months, the BCVAs were 0.91 ± 0.15 and 0.71 ± 0.3 (p = 0.029) in the CS and MS groups, respectively; BCVAs were 0.91 ± 0.15 and 0.71 ± 0.3 (p = 0.029) in the CS and MS groups, respectively; the difference was non-significant 12 months post-surgery (0.78 ± 0.32 vs. 0.74 ± 0.30, p = 0.553). Postoperative ptosis was observed in 4 (17%) and zero patients in the CS and MS groups, respectively, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.118). The study was not powered sufficiently to detect statistically significant changes in exploratory endpoints. The study was not powered sufficiently to detect statistically significant differences between groups in exploratory endpoints.
