Surgical outcomes of excisional goniotomy using the kahook dual blade in severe and refractory glaucoma: 12-month results.

Objectives: To describe the efficacy and safety of goniotomy with trabecular meshwork excision using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB, New World Medical Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in patients with severe or refractory glaucoma.

Methods: This retrospective multicentre case series reports on 40 eyes with severe or refractory open-angle glaucoma that underwent standalone or combined KDB goniotomy and were followed for 12 months post-operatively in the United-States, Mexico and Switzerland.

Twelve-Month Outcomes of Stand-Alone Excisional Goniotomy in Mild to Severe Glaucoma.

Purpose: To describe 12-month intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use outcomes following excisional goniotomy (EG) as a stand-alone procedure in eyes with medically uncontrolled glaucoma.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data from surgeons at 8 centers (6 US, 2 Mexico). Eyes with glaucoma undergoing standalone EG with a specialized instrument (Kahook Dual Blade, New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, CA) for IOP reduction and followed for 12 months postoperatively were included.

Six-Month Outcomes of Goniotomy Performed with the Kahook Dual Blade as a Stand-Alone Glaucoma Procedure.

Introduction: To characterize the reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP-lowering medication use following goniotomy via trabecular meshwork excision performed using the Kahook Dual Blade as a stand-alone procedure in adult eyes with glaucoma uncontrolled on a regimen of 1-3 topical IOP-lowering medications.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, data from consecutive patients undergoing goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade by 11 surgeons were analyzed. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative follow-up data through 6 months of follow-up were collected.

12-Month Outcomes of Goniotomy Performed Using the Kahook Dual Blade Combined with Cataract Surgery in Eyes with Medically Treated Glaucoma.

Introduction: To describe the 12-month efficacy and safety of goniotomy performed using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in combination with cataract surgery in eyes with medically treated open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods: This was a prospective, interventional case series conducted at seven centers in North America. Consecutive patients with medically treated OAG and visually significant cataract underwent phacoemulsification combined with goniotomy (PE + goniotomy) using KDB.

Goniotomy Using the Kahook Dual Blade in Severe and Refractory Glaucoma: 6-Month Outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to describe short-term efficacy and safety of goniotomy with trabecular meshwork excision using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB, New World Medical Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in patients with severe or refractory glaucoma.

Method: Retrospective multicentric case series of 53 eyes with severe or refractory glaucoma as defined by ICD-10 conducted in the United States, Mexico, and Switzerland.

Goniotomy with a single-use dual blade: Short-term results.

Purpose: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of a single-use dual blade (Kahook) in patients with mild to end-stage glaucoma.

Setting: International multicenter ophthalmic care centers.

Design: Prospective interventional case series.
