Risk Factors for Trabeculotomy Failure in Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Prcis: This study demonstrates that a baseline corneal diameter >12.25, initial age <4 months at diagnosis, higher baseline IOP than 24 mm Hg, bilaterality, or inability to perform circumferential trabeculotomy, increases the risk of surgical failure of trabeculotomy in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify clinical predictive factors for surgical failure and to evaluate potential prognostic factors affecting surgical success in patients with PCG who underwent trabeculotomy.

Silicone Oil Droplets in the Schlemm's Canal: A Surprise during Prolene Hemi-gonioscopy-assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (Hemi-GATT).

Aim And Objective: To report a case with emulsified silicone oil (SO) droplets in the Schlemm's canal (SC), encountered during prolene hemi-gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (hemi-GATT).

Background: In cases with a history of previous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SO tamponade and then SO removal; glaucoma might occur secondary to the presence of emulsified SO droplets. Minimal invasive glaucoma surgeries targeting trabecular meshwork such as GATT surgery might be an ideal treatment option in these cases.

Outcomes of Gonioscopy-assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy in Vitrectomized Patients With Secondary Glaucoma After Silicone Oil Removal.

Prcis: The present study demonstrates that surgical success rates of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) with a target intraocular pressure (IOP)≤21 mm Hg are 93.3% (for qualified success) and 26.7% (for complete success) in vitrectomized patients exhibiting secondary open-angle glaucoma (SOAG) after silicone oil (SO) removal, for an average follow-up of 37.
