简介:目的对改良翼状胬肉手术方法进行安全性评估的研究。方法188例翼状胬肉患者随机分为实验组和对照组。实验组接受改良方法进行翼状胬肉手术。对照组按照《眼科手术图谱》传统翼状胬肉切除术方法进行手术。记录所有患者手术时间、术后角膜上皮修复时间。术后每周随访,记录术后1周、2周、3周、4周时结膜充血情况及结膜充血完全消退时间。随访3个月,记录发生角巩膜溃疡、结膜肉芽以及翼状胬肉复发的病例数。结果实验组有96人完成随访,对照组有92人完成随访。实验组患者角膜上皮修复时间为2.42±0.68天,对照组为4.27±1.05天,P〈0.05,差别有统计学意义;实验组结膜充血评分术后1周、2周、3周、4周时分别为3.31±0.47、2.76±0.74、1.89±0.860.94±0.70,对照组分别为3.84±0.37、3.58±0.67、2.93±0.71、1.85±0.78,两两比较P〈0.05,差别有统计学意义。结膜充血消退时间实验组为5.15±0.92周,对照组为7.20±1.08P〈0.05,差别有统计学意义。实验组未发生结膜肉芽,对照组为14例,P〈0.05,差别有统计学意义。实验组发生角巩膜溃疡4例、复发4例,对照组为7例、5例,P〉0.05,差别无统计学意义。结论改良的翼状胬肉手术方法在术后角膜上皮修复时间、术后结膜充血程度、结膜充血消退时间、结膜肉芽发生率上忧于传统手术方法,差别有统计学意义。在角膜溃疡发生率、翼状胬肉复发率上改良手术方法与传统手术差别无统计学意义。
简介:目的:观察结膜瓣遮盖联合虹膜嵌顿术治疗全层感染真菌性角膜炎的疗效。方法:分析2005-03/2011-04在邢台眼科医院行结膜瓣遮盖+虹膜嵌顿术的深部真菌性角膜炎患者26例26眼,全部的病灶的范围均〈(5×5)mm2,角膜刮片检查真菌菌丝全部为阳性;前房积脓(+),病灶均较致密,术前不能确定病灶累及深度;在术中,当病灶剖切至接近后弹力层深度时,根据临床特点,对于病灶累及角膜全层,但直径≤1mm的患者,人为在残余病灶的近周边处刺透角膜,造成角膜穿孔,自角膜穿孔或破溃处注吸前房积脓和抛光内皮斑后,将相邻近的虹膜嵌顿在角膜穿孔处,并用缝线固定1~2针,最后行结膜瓣遮盖术,尽量保持水密,术后继续给予抗真菌治疗并密切观察。结果:患者26例中有5例在病灶剖切中自行破溃,3例在病灶剖切中不慎切透,18例角膜基质床在剖切过程中完整;结膜上皮恢复时间为13.44±2.21d;24例感染得到控制,成功率为92%;2例因感染未控制而改为角膜移植术,最终控制感染。结论:结膜瓣遮盖联合虹膜嵌顿术是治疗小范围的全层真菌性角膜炎的有效方法,它可以控制感染,为以后的增视手术创造条件,适合在基层医院开展。
简介:目的:观察翼状胬肉切除联合自体球结膜瓣移植术后,局部应用1g/L环孢霉素A对胬肉复发的抑制效果。方法:对原发性翼状胬肉患者58例58眼进行前瞻性研究。所有入选眼均采用翼状胬肉切除联合自体球结膜瓣移植术,根据术后是否应用1g/L环孢霉素A滴眼液分为试验组和对照组。术后追踪随访1a,观察患者的胬肉复发率。结果:术后试验组基础泪液分泌试验(SchirmerⅠtest,SⅠt)结果明显优于对照组(9.93±1.59vs8.47±1.53mm/5min);SⅠt结果也显示1g/L环孢霉素A使患眼术后的泪液分泌量较术前有所增加。术后1a试验组与对照组的胬肉复发率分别为10%和39%。对照组并发症的出现率要高于试验组,差异具有统计学意义(P=0.029)。结论:翼状胬肉切除术后局部应用1g/L环孢霉素A滴眼液能够安全有效地降低胬肉的复发率。
简介:目的探讨运用示教与反示教在年龄相关性白内障患者滴眼药护理中的效果。方法将100例患者随机分为实验组和对照组各50例,对照组采用传统的健康教育。实验组采用示教与反示教进行健康教育。由培训过的责任护士对患者有计划地从入院到出院,给予全程、个体化的示教与反示教健康教育。结果实验组患者在滴眼药知识、技能掌握及对护理工作满意度方面优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05),术后一周并发症的发生率明显低于对照组(P〈O.05)。结论运用示教与反示教对患者实施健康教育,可达到提高患者滴眼药的技能,自我效能感增加,遵医行为增强,自护能力提高,减少术后并发症,提高护理满意度。
