A Study Comparing Sub-Tenon Steroid Injection Versus Eye Drops for Reducing Postoperative Inflammation After Cataract Surgery
Study Of The Safety And Efficacy Of Intraoperative Subtenon Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection Versus Topical Prednisolone Acetate 1% In Reducing Postoprerative Inflammation After Phacoemulsification
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Background: Postoperative ocular inflammation is a common physiological response following cataract surgery; however, excessive inflammation may compromise visual outcomes. Topical corticosteroids, particularly prednisolone acetate 1%, remain the standard treatment, but their use is limited by poor patient compliance and the need for frequent dosing. Sub-Tenon's corticosteroid injection offers a potential alternative with a prolonged anti-inflammatory effect.
Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of a single sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone acetonide versus topical prednisolone acetate 1% in controlling postoperative inflammation after uncomplicated cataract surgery.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, interventional comparative study included 72 patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups: Group 1 received topical prednisolone acetate 1% according to a tapering regimen, while Group 2 received a single sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone acetonide (40 mg/mL).

説明
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients eligible for senile cataract surgery meeting the following conditions:
Best-corrected visual acuity less than or equal to 0.5. Nuclear sclerosis grades NC1, NC2, NC3, or NC4 according to LOCS III, regardless of the grade of cortical or posterior subcapsular cataract.
Age 50 years and older.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with non-age-related cataracts (congenital, infantile, or drug-induced).
Patients with a history of previous intraocular surgery. Patients with any form of glaucoma. Patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Patients with diabetes mellitus. Patients with uveitis. Patients scheduled for concurrent intraocular surgery at the time of cataract extraction (e.g., trabeculectomy or vitrectomy).
Patients using long-term topical ocular medications. Patients with only one functional eye. Patients with poor pupil dilation, defined as a pupil diameter of 5.5 mm or less, those requiring iris dilators, or those who experienced iris trauma during surgery.
Effective phacoemulsification time (EPT) exceeding 2 minutes. Patients who were non-compliant with follow-up visits. Patients who developed postoperative complications unrelated to the study treatment (such as endophthalmitis or intraocular lens dislocation).
