Comparison of viscocanalostomy plus suture-assisted near-360-degree trabeculotomy and viscocanalostomy plus rigid probe trabeculotomy in primary congenital glaucoma
Acta Ophthalmologica Jun 18, 2021
Yu Q, Liang Y, Ji F, et al. - In this consecutive retrospective study, researchers compared the effectiveness and safety of viscocanalostomy plus near-360-degree suture trabeculotomy (VST) with viscocanalostomy plus rigid probe trabeculotomy (VT) in treating primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) over a one-year follow-up. This investigation involved patients with PCG confirmed within 3 years of age from March 2017 to October 2019. Participants in the study were 61 patients (90 eyes). The intraocular pressure (IOP) at 12 months after surgery in the VST group was 12.7 ± 4.8 mmHg, whereas that in the VT group was 15.8 ± 6.5 mmHg. Over a one-year follow-up, VST provides more durable IOP control than VT in children with PCG, while maintaining a similar safety profile.
