Jpn J Ophthalmol 2024; 68:126-133. [PMID: 38311690 DOI: 10.1007/s10384-023-01043-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the safety and efficacy of two different application methods of mitomycin C (MMC)-soaked sponge in trabeculectomy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS We included 71 eyes of 71 patients that had undergone trabeculectomy. In the anterior scleral application group, 36 eyes were treated using the long side of the MMC-soaked sponge placed parallel to the limbus. The efficacy and safety in these eyes were compared with eyes treated with the posterior scleral application group, consisting of 35 eyes treated with the long side of the MMC-soaked sponge placed perpendicular to the limbus. The follow-up period was 2 years. The safety of the procedure, including bleb morphology and complications, was the primary outcome, while the success rate was the secondary outcome. RESULTS The cumulative success rate at 2 years postoperatively was 94.4% in the anterior and and 94.3% in the posterior scleral application group (P = 1.000). However, with the posterior scleral application of the MMC-soaked sponge, blebs were more low-lying (P = 0.048), less in extent (P < 0.001), more normally vascularized (P = 0.027) and more posteriorly directed (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the incidence of thin-walled cystic bleb (P = 0.028) and bleb leakage (P = 0.025) was significantly lower in the posterior scleral application group than in the anterior group. CONCLUSION Although there were similar success rates, the posterior scleral application of MMC-soaked sponge with trabeculectomy was safer with a better bleb morphology than the anterior scleral application.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy and safety of 120-, 240-, and 360-degree goniotomy (GT) with or without phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (PEI) for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). DESIGN Multicenter, retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized interventional study. METHODS Patients diagnosed with POAG who underwent GT with or without PEI were included, and divided into 6 groups: 1) standalone 120-degree GT (120GT); 2) standalone 240-degree GT (240GT); 3) standalone 360-degree GT (360GT); 4) PEI + 120GT; 5) PEI + 240GT; and 6) PEI + 360GT. Data on intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of ocular hypotensive medications, and complications were collected and compared. Success was defined as a postoperative IOP within the range of 6 to 18 mm Hg and a 20% reduction from baseline without further glaucoma surgery. Complete success and qualified success were defined as the above without and with ocular hypotensive medications, respectively. RESULTS Three hundred eight eyes of 231 patients were included with a mean follow-up of 14.4 ± 8.6 months (6.0-48.0 months). There were no significant differences in the reductions in IOP and number of medications and cumulative survival probability for complete and qualified success rates among the 3 groups of standalone GT and PEI + GT. The 360GT group had the highest proportion of hyphema with or without PEI. CONCLUSIONS 120GT, 240GT, and 360GT with or without PEI showed similar efficacy in reducing IOP and medications used in POAG. 360GT with or without PEI was more likely to cause hyphema compared with 120GT or 240GT. 120GT with or without PEI was sufficient for treating POAG with or without cataract..

Abstract
The development of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGSs) was intended to provide safe and modestly efficacious modalities for early intervention of mild-to-moderate glaucoma, with minimal trauma and rapid recovery. They were mainly ab interno procedures that reduce intraocular pressure by facilitating the aqueous outflow by bypassing the trabecular meshwork resistance, reinforcing the uveoscleral flow via the supraciliary space, and reducing aqueous production by the ciliary body. While the cumulating evidence helps shape the role of the available MIGS, the exponential new development and advancement in this field has expanded the territory of MIGS. Apart from developing subconjunctival MIGS filtration devices (Xen gel stent and PRESERFLO MicroShunt), there is a tendency to revisit the "traditional" MIGS for alternative use and to modify the procedures with consideration of the fundamental aqueous outflow physiology. Combined MIGS has also been suggested, based on the theory that their different mechanisms may provide additive or synergistic effects. The advancement of laser procedures is also promising and could supplement unmet needs along the glaucoma treatment algorithm. This review examines the broad array of MIGS, updates the recent findings, discusses their potential alternative applications, and explores future challenges.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of posterior scleral application (a modified technique) of an antimetabolite mitomycin C-soaked sponge in trabeculectomy for patients with glaucoma. METHODS This retrospective study included 101 patients (115 eyes) with glaucoma (aged 12-83y) who underwent trabeculectomy using a modified mitomycin C-soaked sponge placement method. A piece of 3.5×10 mm2 sponge was placed vertically and posteriorly with the long side perpendicular to the limbus. The mitomycin C concentration and exposure time were 0.2-0.5 mg/mL and 1-5min, respectively. Intraocular pressure, best-corrected visual acuity, and hypotensive medications were recorded at baseline and at the final visit. Complications, interventions required, and bleb morphology were recorded postoperatively. The primary outcome was trabeculectomy safety, including complications and bleb morphology; the secondary outcome was the trabeculectomy success rate. RESULTS At the final follow-up [median 28mo, range 7-67mo and interquartile range (IQR) 13mo], the qualified (cumulative) success rate was 93.0% and the complete success rate was 60.0%. No bleb-related complications were observed. The mean height, extent, and vascularity grades were 0.6±0.9, 1.1±0.4, and 2.4±0.9, respectively. All Seidel tests were negative. The mean posteriority grade was 0.8±0.4. CONCLUSION Trabeculectomy with the long side of a mitomycin C-soaked sponge placed perpendicular to the corneal limbus is safe and effective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bleb scarring is the most important complication of trabeculectomy. Changing the application position of mitomycin C (MMC) during trabeculectomy might affect the surgery outcome. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness and safety of intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering in two different application sites of mitomycin in trabeculectomy. METHODS This retrospective trial compared the surgical outcomes of 177 eyes that underwent trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C. In 70 eyes, an MMC-soaked sponge was applied under the scleral flap without touching Tenon's capsule. In 107 eyes, an MMC-soaked sponge was applied under the scleral flap covered by Tenon's capsule. Outcome measures were the IOP, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), success rates, and incidence of complications. RESULTS Within both groups, a highly significant IOP reduction was seen during follow-up. The effectiveness in reducing IOP and the change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were similar between the two groups. Thin-walled blebs and postoperative hypotony were seen more often when MMC-soaked sponges were applied under the scleral flap covered by Tenon's capsule (P = 0.008 and P = 0.012, respectively). There was no significant difference in BCVA or other complications in either group. CONCLUSION Since the effectiveness of IOP reduction was similar between both groups and with a low incidence of thin-walled blebs and hypotony, the subscleral application without touching Tenon's capsule seems to be the safer application site of MMC during trabeculectomy.

Abstract
Glaucoma following cataract surgery (GFCS) remains a serious postoperative complication of pediatric cataract surgery. Various risk factors, including age at lensectomy, intraocular lens implantation, posterior capsule status, associated ocular/systemic anomaly, additional intraocular surgery, and a family history of congenital cataract and GFCS, have been reported. However, the optimal surgical approach remains unclear. This review evaluates the diagnostic criteria, classification, risk factors, mechanism, and surgical management, especially the efficacy of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, in GFCS, and aims to propose an optimal clinical management strategy for GFCS. The results of our review indicate that ab interno trabeculotomy (goniotomy) may be the most appropriate first-line treatment for GFCS.

Each patient was assessed before treatment and at 1, 7 days, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postsurgery. The criteria for complete success were IOP within 6 to 18 mm Hg and at least 20% of reduction in IOP from baseline without ocular hypotensive medications or reoperation. The definition of qualified success was similar to that of complete success, except for the need for ocular hypotensive medications. The potential prognostic factors for surgical success were investigated using a multivariate logistic model. RESULTS All participants completed 1 year of follow-up. Complete and qualified success were achieved in 74 (89.1%) and 79 (95.2%) of 83 eyes, respectively. The mean preoperative and postsurgical IOPs were 27.4±7.3 and 14.2±2.6 mm Hg, respectively. Participants used an average of 2.0 and 0.3 types of ocular hypotensive medications before and after surgery, respectively. The chief complications included hyphema (n=9), IOP spike (n=9), and corneal edema (n=8). None of the eyes required reoperation or developed vision-threatening complications. Multivariate analysis showed that older age was associated with a higher probability of complete success (odds ratio=1.13; 95% CI: 1.02-1.25; P=0.020). CONCLUSIONS The 1-year results of combination of PEI+GSL+GT in treating advanced PACG cases with cataract appear to be safe and effective. Further large-scale multination and multicenter studies are warranted.
