This study shows a new glaucoma surgery technique, removable suture trabeculectomy, effectively lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients. All participants achieved normal IOP levels post-surgery without medication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Glaucoma Management

Background:

  • Open-angle glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
  • Current surgical treatments for glaucoma aim to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • Trabeculectomy is a common glaucoma surgery, but variations exist to improve outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a removable suture trabeculectomy technique for open-angle glaucoma.
  • To compare outcomes with the classical trabeculectomy method.
  • To analyze results in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical treatment of 25 eyes (19 patients) with open-angle glaucoma using removable suture trabeculectomy.
  • Inclusion of 7 eyes with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

  • Comparison with historical data from classical trabeculectomy and Italian author studies.

    • Main Results:

    • Preoperative mean IOP was 33.04 mmHg +/- 13.
    • IOP reduction exceeded 50% for preoperative IOP < 30 mmHg.
    • IOP reduction exceeded 70% for preoperative IOP > 30 mmHg.
    • All patients achieved normal IOP ranges within 6 months post-surgery, without additional medication.

    Conclusions:

    • Removable suture trabeculectomy is a safe and effective surgical option for open-angle glaucoma.
    • This technique achieves significant IOP reduction and normalizes IOP in most patients.
    • Further comparison with classical trabeculectomy supports its clinical utility.
