Purpose
To evaluate the success, safety, and complications of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with failed trabeculectomy.
Setting
Sevgi Eye Hospital & Adana Sehir Hospital, Adana-Türkiye
Methods
A retrospective study was conducted for 12 patients who underwent GATT surgery for failed trabeculectomy. Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with failed trabeculectomy were enrolled into the study. The primary outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of antiglaucoma medications used, and complications after the surgery.
Results
A significant decrease in IOP was observed after the surgery (P < 0.05). The average preoperative IOP was 31.2±8.2 mmHg, whereas it was 12.4±4.2 mmHg in the third postoperative month. A decrease in the number of glaucoma medications was seen compared to the preoperative period. The most frequent complication was found to be hyphaema, which dissappeared over time.
Conclusions
Performing GATT appears to be safe and successful in treating failed trabeculectomy patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with low complications.
