Phacoemulsification combined with trabecular meshwork-Schlemm canal-based minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in primary angle-closure glaucoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To summarize the efficacy and safety of the phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (PEI) ± goniosynechialysis (GSL) + trabecular meshwork-Schlemm canal (TM-SC)-based minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across seven electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science. Studies focused on TM-SC-based MIGS with PEI for PACG were included in this review. The efficacy was assessed by the reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) values and the decrease in the number of anti-glaucoma medications (AGMs), while safety was evaluated by incidence of complications.
