The study was a prospective interventional clinical trial enrolling 29 eyes from 20 patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma to evaluate the effect of adding a novel simple economical step to nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. We obtained an additional 12.5% reduction in the intraocular pressure compared with the standard surgery.

Comparison of Outcomes of Deep Sclerectomy, Canaloplasty, and Viscocanaloplasty: A Multi-Centred Study.
J Glaucoma
January 2025
Ophthalmology Unit, University Hospital Maggiore della Carità, Novara, Italy.
Prcis: Deep sclerectomy (DS) and canaloplasty provide better intraocular pressure (IOP) control than viscocanalostomy. DS required less glaucoma medications but more interventions to reach target IOP.
Purpose: To compare real-world outcomes of three non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (NPGS) techniques.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) in advanced open-angle glaucoma patients.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Methods: Forty-two eyes of 38 patients with advanced glaucoma who underwent NPDS surgery combined with mitomycin-C with or without phacoemulsification were evaluated for up to 12 months at a tertiary eye care center in South India.

: This study aimed to investigate the five-year outcomes of deep sclerectomy (DS) in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). : This retrospective, observational, unicentric study analyzed POAG and PEXG patients. Intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of IOP-lowering medications, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, the number of postoperative interventions, surgical success rates, and secondary surgery rates were evaluated at baseline and during follow-up appointments.

Long-term use of topical prostaglandins might initiate chronic conjunctival inflammation, leading to poor outcomes of glaucoma surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunoexpression pattern of HSP70, CTGF, SNAIL, aSMA, cMYB, and HIFa in the conjunctiva, episclera, and deep sclera in patients with glaucoma undergoing deep sclerectomy in order to establish an association between staining intensities and prostaglandin F2 (PGF2) treatment. Double immunofluorescence (HSP70, CTGF, SNAIL, aSMA, cMYB, and HIFa) was performed on conjunctiva, episclera, and deep sclera samples, which were obtained from 23 patients treated with PGF2 and 8 patients without PGF2 treatment.

Purpose: This study assesses the impact of preoperative administration of Oku-Oku eye drops on the severity of conjunctival hyperemia and the risk of hemorrhagic complications in the early postoperative period following glaucoma surgery.
Material And Methods: The study included a group of 30 patients (30 eyes) with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma who underwent non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. The main group included 15 eyes, in which Oku-Oku drops were administered twice - on the day before surgery (upon hospital admission) and immediately before the operation.
