PURPOSE
To compare the 18-month efficacy and safety of the Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy (KDB) in combination with cataract surgery (phaco-KDB) or as a standalone procedure (KDB).
SETTING
Single surgeon practice.
DESIGN
Retrospective review study.
METHODS
One hundred sixteen eyes of 100 patients underwent KDB by a single well-experienced surgeon from May 2016-2018. A total of 93 and 23 eyes were in the phaco-KDB and KDB groups, respectively. Main outcome measures were reduction in IOP and IOP-lowering medication as well as adverse events. Data were collected and analyzed using Welch's t-tests in R.
RESULTS
71% of eyes within the phaco-KDB group compared to 83% within the KDB group had moderate or severe glaucoma. At baseline, mean IOP was 16.5±5.0mm Hg (n=93) and 24.3±9.1 (n=23) in the phaco-KDB and KDB groups, respectively (p<0.05). The IOP decreased in both groups at 12 months (14.1±3.9 vs 16.9±7.6, p=0.24) and 18 months (14.4±3.7 vs 16.7±7.6, p=0.5). There was a statistically significant difference in the number of drops between the phaco-KDB and KDB groups at baseline (2.4±1.2 vs 2.9±1.0, p<0.05) persisting at 12 months (1.3±1.2 vs 2.6±1.2, p<0.05) and at 18 months (1.3±1.2 vs 3.3±1.2, p<0.05). Complications included transient hyphemas (n=20,17%) and IOP spike (n=20,17%). Seven eyes required additional glaucoma surgery, 5 of which were in the standalone group.
CONCLUSIONS
KDB is an effective and safe procedure for different glaucoma disease severity, whether combined with cataract surgery or as a standalone surgery. KDB is an alternative to consider prior to pursuing more invasive glaucoma surgeries.
