Abstract

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes and complications of phaco-trabeculectomy and small incision cataract surgery (SICS) trabeculectomy in patients with cataracts.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted involving 50 cataract patients divided into two groups: 25 patients underwent phaco-trabeculectomy and 25 underwent SICS trabeculectomy. Preoperative and postoperative parameters such as intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity (VA), surgical time, and complication rates were analyzed.

Results: The study showed that both phaco-trabeculectomy and SICS trabeculectomy effectively reduced intraocular pressure and improved visual acuity. However, phaco-trabeculectomy had a significantly shorter surgical time and fewer postoperative complications compared to SICS trabeculectomy.

Conclusion:Phaco-trabeculectomy offers better safety and efficacy compared to SICS trabeculectomy, making it a preferable choice for managing cataract patients requiring trabeculectomy.
