Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To compare the long-term efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification, anterior vitrectomy, and sclerectomy (triple procedure surgery, TS); combined phacoemulsification and anterior vitrectomy (double procedure surgery, DS); and filtering surgery (FS) in nanophthalmos with angle-closure glaucoma (NACG). METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. Forty patients (44 eyes) diagnosed with NACG who underwent TS, DS, and FS were included. All eyes in the TS group and seven (47%) eyes in the DS group also underwent goniosynechialysis during the surgery. The main outcome measures (intraocular pressure [IOP], best-corrected visual acuity, complications, and second surgeries) were recorded at the early- (within 1 week) and late-stage (>3 months) follow-up. RESULTS: The late-stage IOP was significantly lower in the TS (mean ± standard deviation: 13.29 ± 2.49 mm Hg) than in the DS (19.69 ± 6.97 mm Hg) and FS groups (27.57 ± 12.26 mm Hg, p < 0.001). More visual improvements were observed in the TS and DS groups than in the FS group at late-stage follow-up (p = 0.04). The complication rates in the TS, DS, and FS groups were 26%, 33%, and 70%, respectively (p = 0.046); the second surgery rates were 0%, 33%, and 60%, respectively (p < 0.001). In total, one, three, and six severe complications were observed in the TS, DS, and FS groups, respectively. The mean follow-up durations in the TS, DS, and FS groups were 18.89, 20.02, and 25.75 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: NACG management remains challenging. TS presented relatively good clinical efficacy and safety with better postoperative IOP outcomes, lower complications, and second surgery rates among the three groups in eyes with NACG.
