Curative application analysis of single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty in combined surgery of cataract and glaucoma

AIM: To observe the application effect of single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty in combined surgery of cataract and glaucoma.METHODS: Twenty eight patients(30 eyes)suffered from acute attack of glaucoma with large pupil and cataract, received cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with angle separation or trabeculectomy and single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty in apllication. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, pupil diameter and complications were observed, and postoperative visual quality were measured.RESULTS: The visual acuity of 7d after operation was significantly improved without double vision and glare. The preoperative pupil diameter was 5.9+0.25mm, and the postoperative was 4.1±0.13mm(PPCONCLUSION: Single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty is simple, safe and effective. It can obviously eliminate the visual impairment caused by the large pupil after acute glaucoma attack.
