Abstract:
AIM: To observe the effect of nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane on the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.METHODS: Sixty-six cases (87 eyes) were randomly paired into 3 groups, treated with nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane (22 cases, 29 eyes),compound trabeculectomy (22 cases, 29 eyes) and nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of SKGel (22 cases, 29 eyes), respectively.RESULTS: Compared with the other 2 groups, the group of nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane got a better postoperative visual acuity (P＜0.01),satisfactively-controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) (P＜0.01)and fewer complications (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane is an effective method for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.
