Short-Term Outcomes of Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy in Patients with Advanced Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To review the results of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with advanced glaucoma. GATT has shown efficacy in mild to moderate cases of glaucoma. Its efficacy in advanced glaucoma is uncertain, though recent studies show promising short-term outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective chart review of advanced glaucoma patients undergoing GATT with or without cataract surgery from January 2018 to April 2023 was conducted. Complete success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) <14 mmHg with ≥30% reduction from baseline (Criteria A) or IOP <18 mmHg and/or ≥20% reduction (Criteria B), without antiglaucoma medications. Qualified success was defined as attainment of the same with a maximum of 2 medications.

Results

A total of 69 eyes from 6
