DEEP SCLERECTOMY WITH ANONREABSORBABLE HEMA IMPLANT 5th IGS April 2005 Cape Town Dr. .J Loscos Dra. M.A Parera Prof. J de la Cámara H.Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol Barcelona Spain
Non ionic polymer (2-hydroxietilmetacrilate) • Low tendency to protein adherence • 25% of water • Not reabsorbable
Patients and Methods • 70 eyes ( 62 patients) • 35 males / 35 females • Mean Age: 68.5 years • Uncontrolled glaucoma under maximal tolerable medical treatment
Patients and Methods: • Preop IOP <16 mmhg…………. 0 eyes 16-21 mmhg……….. 13 eyes >21 mmhg………….. 57 eyes • Preop Medication • 1 …………………….. 10 eyes • 2……………………… 29 eyes • 3……………………… 28 eyes • 3 + diamox ……… 3 eyes
Surgical technique • Fornix- based conjuntival flap • Superficial escleral flap 5 x 5 mm • Mitomycin-C : 0,01% ; t = 3’ • Suture HEMA implant in scleral bed with • 10/0 nylon sutures • Suture scleral flap with 1 sutures • Closure conjunctiva
Early complications • Hyphema : 5 • Seidel : 3 • Coroidal detachment:3 • Anterior chamber shallowing:1 • Hipotony:6
Late complications • Subconjunctival fibrosis : 2 • Isquemic bleb: 2
Goniopuncture • 9 patients ( 18 %) • - 1 month : 1 • - 6 month: 8 • Mean time : 5.4 month • -Mean IOP decrease : 4.13 mmHg
Postoperative follow-up:12 months • 50 eyes: • IOP preop: 26.2mmhg IOP postop: 17mmhg • Nº preop med:134 Nº postop med: 18 • Mean preop med: 2.6 Mean postop med:0.36
Conclusion - QUALIFIED SUCCES RATE ( IOP< 21 mmHg with / without medication ) - 88% - COMPLET SUCCESS RATE (IOP < 21 mmHg without medication) - 68%
Conclusion • HEMA implant is safety and effective in • control IOP • - Few postoperative complications • Further studies to compare efficiency • with other implants
