[Ab externo sclerostomy with the Er:YAG laser: report of outcome after 2 years].

Abstract:

OBJECT:Results over a period of 24 months of performing the Er:YAG laser ab externo sclerostomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The procedure was performed 81 times (chronic glaucoma with open angle (n = 55) and narrow angle (n = 15), 6 secondary glaucoma, 4 pigment glaucoma, 1 normal pressure glaucoma) in 74 eyes of 64 patients at the age of 70 +/- 10 years without any peribulbar anesthesia. The pulse energy was 11 mJ with a repetition rate of 7 Hz. Antimetabolites were not applicated. Success was defined as an IOP of less than 22 mm Hg or a decrease of at least 30%, with or without anti-glaucoma medication. RESULTS:The mean IOP of all cases decreased from preoperatively 28 +/- 8.1 mm Hg (Success group: 26.7 +/- 7.3 mm Hg) to 15 +/- 8.4 mm Hg (Success group: 14.6 +/- 7.8 mm Hg) on the first postoperative day. The success rate was about 50% within the period of two weeks to six months and decreased to about 15% in the 24th month. Complications were iris incarceration/synechia (n = 33), hypotony (n = 36) with consequent choroidal detachment (n = 8), hyphema (n = 19) and more pronounced inflammation symptoms (n = 10). In most cases, the early postoperative outflow failure is caused by iris incarceration into the internal ostium. The scarring tendency of the episcleral tissue leads to closure of the external ostium after months. Resurgery was necessary in 26 cases. CONCLUSIONS:Further efforts should be directed to maintain the intact corneoscleral morphology of the canal, created by an optimized method of the surgical technique. The application of antimetabolites in correct dosage or the implantation of modified silicon draining systems would be helpful.
