[Long-term experience with glaucoma silicone implants in a multicenter study].

PURPOSE: To evaluate the experience with a glaucoma implant in complicated glaucoma, designed in collaboration with the Institute of Polymers in Prague. METHODS: In a multicentric retrospective study 91 eyes of 86 patients with otherwise uncontrollable glaucoma underwent GSI implantation in four departments. The implant of medical silicone consists of a tube with an internal diameter of 0.4 mm, connected to a round lens-shaped episcleral plate 169 mm2, covering the tube orifice from above. The indications were infantile glaucoma (14 eyes), traumatic glaucoma (14 eyes), various secondary glaucomas in 12, primary open-angle glaucoma in 11, neovascular and after PPV in 10 eyes each, usually after unsuccessful previous surgery. RESULTS: The average follow-up time was 20.5 months (SD +/- 19.5). Postoperative intraocular pressure at the last control was 6-22 mmHg in 56 eyes (50.95%). Life table analysis showed a cumulative probability of 494% (at least qualified success). Long-term hypotony was seen in 6 eyes. CONCLUSIONS: The GSI is comparable with similar tube shunts but is much less expensive. In vitro experiments are planned to improve the construction of the implant and its results.

[Bacterial flora in obstructed bile ducts].

The authors present the results of bile cultivation from obturated bile ducts. The bile was obtained during ERCP. The results agree in principle with data reported in the literature. The authors emphasize the regional variability of bacterial strains and their sensitivity. It is thus an ever urgent problem which deserves attention, in particular preventive administration of antibiotics. At the authors department as preventive antibiotic cefoperazone proved useful.

[Cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation in patients with glaucoma].

The authors followed the collection of 77 eyes with glaucoma (54 eyes with POAG, 16 eyes with PACG and 7 eyes with CG) after ECCE or phacoemulsification with implantation of IOL. The patients were operated in 1990-1991 at the Ophthalmological Clinic FNKV and 3rd Medical Faculty in Prague. The authors evaluated IOP, therapy and visual acuity 6 weeks and 6 months after operation. After 6 months period IOP was decreased in average about 3 mmHg; in POAG the reduction was 1.9 mmHg and in PACG the reduction was 4.7 mmHg. In this time the authors also registered decreasing antiglaucomatous therapy at 38 eyes (i.e. 49.3% operated eyes). The reducing therapy represents 50% eyes with POAG and 69% eyes with PACG. The visual acuity is in 70% 6/6-6/12. Patients with PACG have more expressive postoperative effect. The authors draw the attention to late diagnosis CG, after successful operation the visual acuity is reduced on account of advanced changes of the optic disc.
