Comparison of efficacy and safety between gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy for primary open-angle glaucoma treatment: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trabeculectomy (TRAB) traditionally has been the gold-standard surgical treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), while gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is an emerging minimally invasive surgery used for the treatment of various open-angle glaucoma (OAG) types. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between GATT and TRAB for the treatment of POAG.

Methods

This cohort study included eyes with POAG that underwent a single GATT (30 eyes) or TRAB (34 eyes). Follow-up was conducted at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Intraocular pressure (IOP), the numbers of glaucoma medication, visual field mean deviation, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, surgical time, and complications were
