Objectives To assess the clinical effectiveness of non-penetrating trabecular surgery versus trabeculectomy for open angle glaucoma. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (issue 2, 2007), MEDLINE (1966 to May 2008), EMbase (1980 to May 2008), and CMB-disk (1979 to May 2008). We also hand searched relevant journals and conference proceedings. Data were extracted by two reviewers independently using an extraction form. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Three RCTs involving 127 participants (144 eyes) with previously untreated open angle glaucoma were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with non-penetrating trabecular surgery, trabeculectomy increased the proportion of patients with reduced postoperative intraocular pressure (WMD2.78, 95%CI 1.41 to 4.15), improved the operation success rate (RR 0.53, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.77), and reduced the use of postoperative antiglaucoma medication (WMD 0.96, 95%CI 0.84 to 1.08). Non-penetrating trabecular surgery reduced the incidence of postoperative complications (RR 17.00, 95%CI 8.36 to 26.00). Conclusion Since the sample sizes of the included trials are relatively small, and the two procedures are also related to progressive visual field loss and optic disk damage, more well-designed large-scale RCTs are required.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of mytomycin C versus 5-fluorouracil for trabeculectomy. Methods We electronically searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 3, 2008), MEDLINE (1966 to October 2008), EMbase (1947 to October 2008), CMBdisk (1979 to October 2008).We also handsearched relevant conference proceedings. Data were extracted by two reviewers independently using an extraction form. The Cochrane Collaboration’ s RevMan 5.0 software was used for statistical analyses. Results Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 482 participants (495eyes) were identified. The trials enrolled three types of participants (high risk of failure, moderate risk of failure, low risk of failure). As for high risk of failure, compared with mytomycin C, 5-fluorouracil appeared to increase the rate of postoperative complications (RR –5.74, 95%CI –9.91, –1.58). No significant differences were found in postoperative mean intraocular pressure(IOP) (WMD –?2.31, 95%CI –?7.34, 2.71), success rate (RR 1.13, 95%CI 0.91, 1.39) and visual acuity ≥3-line decrease (RR 1.46, 95%CI 0.43, 4.94). As for low risk of failure, there were no significant differences in success rate (RR 1.10, 95%CI 0.99, 1.22) and postoperative complications (RR 1.00, 95%CI –6.21, 8.21). Conclusion In both groups of high risk and low risk of failure, there are no significant differences in postoperative mean IOP and success rate. However, in the group of high risk of failure, compared with 5-fluorouracil, mytomycin C appears to raise the rate of postoperative complications; the rate of reducing the eyes pressure cannot be concluded based on current evidence. However, as the number of the studied cases is rather small and the period of observation is also limited, long-term follow-up of multi-central RCTs with a larger number of cases are still needed before definite conclusions can be made. Further studies are also needed to better determine the pharmacokinetics and cost-effective analyses involving the use of the two agents for glaucoma filtering surgery.
Objective Methods of evidence-based medicine were used to make an individualized treatment plan concerning newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma patient. Methods After clinical problems were put forward, evidence was collected from Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), PubMed (1990 -2009), MEDLINE (1990-2009), EMbase (1990-2009), CBM (1990-2009), and CNKI (1990-2009) according to the search strategy. Subject words were open-angle glaucoma, timolol, latanoprost, trabeculectomy, intraocular pressure, randomized controlled trials, human, meta-analysis, systematic review. Results A total of 221 randomized controlled trials, and 19 systematic reviews were identified. A rational treatment plan was made upon a serious evaluation of the data. After one year follow-up, the plan was proved optimal. Conclusion The treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma has been improved by determining an individualized treatment plan according to evidence-based methods.
Objective To evaluate the effect of releasable sutures on shallow anterior chamber, filtering bleb and long-term intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods We searched MEDLINE (1971 to 2007), OVID (1971 to 2007) and National Science and Technology Library (1971 to 2007). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the effect of releasable sutures on trabeculectomy were collected. Study selection and assessment, data collection and analyses were undertaken and cross-checked by two reviewers. Meta-analyses were performed with The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results Six RCTs involving 341 eyes were included. Significant differences were observed in the reduction of postoperative shallow anterior chamber (RD –0.23, 95%CI –0.31 to –0.14, Plt;0.000 01) and functional filtering blebs (RD –0.15, 95%CI –0.27 to –0.02, P=0.02). But, no differences were observed for the control of long-term IOP (SMD –0.13, 95%CI –0.37 to 0.10, P=0.27). Conclusion The evidence currently available showed that releasable sutures could reduce the incidence of shallow anterior chamber and has no beneficial effect in controlling long-term IOP. The current evidence is insufficient to define the efficacy of maintaining functional filtering blebs. Further large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy versus simple phacoemulsification for primary angle closure glaucoma with cataract.MethodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy vs. simple phacoemulsification for primary angle closure glaucoma with cataract from inception to May 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of eight studies involving 679 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there were no significant differences between two groups in postoperative visual acuity (MD=0.00, 95%CI –0.10 to 0.09, P=0.98), postoperative anterior chamber depth (MD=0.14, 95%CI –0.17 to 0.45, P=0.37) and adverse reactions rates (optic nerve injury: RR=1.56, 95%CI 0.70 to 3.47, P=0.28; visual field defect: RR=1.43, 95%CI 0.70 to 2.92, P=0.33; corneal edema: RR=0.57, 95%CI 0.25 to 1.32, P=0.19).ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy and simple phacoemulsification has the similar efficacy and safety for primary angle closure glaucoma with cataract. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high quality studies.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with 180° trabeculotomy assisted by gonioscopy (GT) and combined glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) in the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with cataract. MethodsThe patients with POAG and cataract in the ophthalmology center of the People’s Hospital of Leshan from June 2021 to March 2022 were included. The patients were divided into GT group and GFS group according to surgical methods. Intraocular pressure (IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) logMAR, number of anti-glaucoma drugs used, success rate, and complications were compared between the two groups after 1-year followed-up. ResultsA total of 27 patients (43 eyes) in the GT group and 26 patients (34 eyes) in the GFS group were included. There was no significant difference in baseline between the two groups (P>0.05). BCVA logMAR in the GT group was lower than that in the GFS group at 1 year after surgery, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The postoperative IOP in GT group was lower than that in GFS group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The difference in total effective rate, the number of anti-glaucoma drugs and the incidence of complications between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionPhacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with GT is safe and effective in the treatment of POAG with cataract and has a good effect on reducing IOP.
