    Repeated glaucoma surgery, including trabeculectomy, can effectively lower eye pressure. Performing repeat surgery away from the original site or combining it with episcleral resection improves success rates for open-angle glaucoma patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Glaucoma Research

    Context:

    • Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) management often requires surgical intervention.
    • Recurrence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) necessitates repeat glaucoma surgery.
    • Evaluating the efficacy of different repeat fistulization techniques is crucial for POAG treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the outcomes of repeated glaucoma fistulization surgeries in patients with POAG.
    • To compare the effectiveness of traditional trabeculectomy, combined trabeculectomy with episcleral resection, and valvular trabeculectomy.
    • To determine optimal surgical strategies for achieving sustained IOP reduction after initial glaucoma surgery.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 40 patients (41 eyes) undergoing repeat fistulization surgery for POAG.

  • Follow-up (6 months to 4 years) showed 90.2% achieved normalized IOP, with 65.8% drug-free.
  • Visual acuity improved/remained stable in 58.5%, and visual fields improved/preserved in 80.5%.

    • Impact:

    • Repeat fistulization surgery, particularly when performed at a new site, offers a high success rate for IOP normalization in POAG.
    • Combining repeat trabeculectomy with episcleral resection enhances surgical reliability when operating at the primary intervention site.
    • These findings guide surgical decision-making for complex glaucoma cases requiring repeat procedures.
