简介:目的分析白内障超声乳化加人工晶体植入联合小梁切除术中单切口术式和双切口术式对手术效果的影响.方法28例(31眼)青光眼合并白内障病例分为A、B两组.A组(单切口组):15例(17眼),巩膜隧道切口行白内障超乳+IOL植入+小梁切除术;B组(双切口组):13例(14眼),透明角膜切口行白内障超乳+IOL植入,上方做传统小梁切除术.分析比较两组术后眼压、视力及并发症情况,随访3-6月.结果术后随访3-6月,两组视力均有提高.眼压:A组术前平均眼压33.21mmHg,术后16.24mmHg;B组:术前平均眼压34.25mmHg,术后15.74mmHg.术后眼压与术前相比,两组均有明显差异性;术后平均眼压两组之间无明显差异性.术后并发症无明显差异,功能性滤过泡数量两组之间无明显差异.结论超乳青光眼白内障联合手术,单切口和双切口术式均有良好的降低眼压、提高视力的作用,是治疗闭角型青光眼合并白内障安全、有效的方法.
