Cyclodialysis cleft repair with goniotomy for the control of post-operative ocular hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:In this case of iatrogenic cyclodialysis cleft, we describe a technique in which a nasal goniotomy is coupled with indirect cyclodialysis cleft (CDC) repair in order to minimize acute post-operative ocular hypertension, which is common following cyclodialysis cleft closure. Observations:This novel technique was simple, convenient, and effective in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) for the patient. Conclusions and importance:IOP frequently spikes to dangerously high levels following CDC closure. Pairing CDC repair with goniotomy may help prevent acute post-operative ocular hypertension in these patients.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the prognosis of patients with blunt trauma-mediated cyclodialysis cleft and lens subluxation treated by dual capsular tension rings (CTRs) with different preoperative intraocular pressures (IOPs).MethodsTwenty-five patients with cyclodialysis cleft and lens subluxation after blunt trauma were recruited in this study. They were categorized into the low IOP group (IOP < 10 mmHg) and normal IOP group (between 10 mm and 21 mmHg). A modified CTR (MCTR) or CTR was sutured into the ciliary sulcus, and another MCTR or CTR was implanted in the capsular bag. The prognosis outcome measurements, including BCVA (LogMAR), IOP, UBM, and macular character on OCT, were collected during the regular outpatient follow-up after surgery until the recovery of cyclodialysis cleft was found. Measures of cyclodialysis cleft recovery included successful IOP control (defined as an IOP within 10-21 mmHg), confirmation of cleft closure on UBM, and confirmation of IOL centration under slit-lamp examination. Follow-up period or recovery time was regarded as the duration between discharge from the hospital after the operation and the recovery of cyclodialysis cleft. The longest follow-up period was 1 year.ResultsCyclodialysis cleft was successfully treated in 21/25 eyes, whereas lens subluxation was treated effectively in all 25 eyes. CTRs and IOLs were stable in all eyes. BCVA (P < 0.001) and IOP (P < 0.001) were significantly improved after surgery. The primary surgical complication included reversible IOP spike in seven eyes. Postoperative BCVA was found to have correlation with the preoperative IOP (P = 0.016), maculopathy (P = 0.002,), and trauma duration (P = 0.046). Worse BCVA (P = 0.037) and more severe grade of maculopathy (P = 0.030) were observed in the low IOP group (14 eyes). In contrast, a better prognosis and greater probability of IOP spike (P = 0.021) were observed in the normal IOP group (11 eyes).ConclusionTimely and proper intervention for traumatic cyclodialysis cleft associated with lens subluxation is essential. Lower preoperative IOP is associated with worse prognosis and prolonged recovery time, while caution should be taken in IOP spike monitoring in patients with normal preoperative IOP.

Project description:Despite surgical correction, children with anorectal malformations may experience long-term bowel dysfunction, including fecal incontinence and/or disorders of evacuation. Anorectal manometry is the most widely used test of anorectal function. Although considerable attention has been devoted to its application in the anorectal malformation cohort, there have been few attempts to consolidate the findings obtained. This systematic review aimed to (1) synthesize and evaluate the existing data regarding anorectal manometry results in children following anorectal malformation repair, and (2) evaluate the manometry protocols utilized, including equipment, assessment approach, and interpretation. We reviewed four databases (Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and PubMed) for relevant articles published between 1 January 1985 and 10 March 2022. Studies reporting post-operative anorectal manometry in children (<18 years) following anorectal malformation repair were evaluated for eligibility. Sixty-three studies were eligible for inclusion. Of the combined total cohort of 2155 patients, anorectal manometry results were reported for 1755 children following repair of anorectal malformations. Reduced resting pressure was consistently identified in children with anorectal malformations, particularly in those with more complex malformation types and/or fecal incontinence. Significant variability was identified in relation to manometry equipment, protocols, and interpretation. Few studies provided adequate cohort medical characteristics to facilitate interpretation of anorectal manometry findings within the context of the broader continence mechanism. This review highlights a widespread lack of standardization in the anorectal manometry procedure used to assess anorectal function in children following anorectal malformation repair. Consequently, interpretation and comparison of findings, both within and between institutions, is exceedingly challenging, if not impossible. Standardized manometry protocols, accompanied by a consistent approach to analysis, including definitions of normality and abnormality, are essential to enhance the comparability and clinical relevance of results.
