Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Glaucoma Research

Background:

  • Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) necessitates effective intraocular pressure (IOP) management.
  • Current surgical options for POAG have limitations and potential complications.
  • The suprachoroidal space offers a potential pathway for aqueous humor drainage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified internal filtering surgery, Trabeculocyclostomy (TC).
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TC in patients with POAG.
  • To assess the potential of TC in managing pseudophakic glaucoma.

Main Methods:

  • Trabeculocyclostomy (TC) surgery was performed on 24 eyes with POAG.
  • The procedure involves controlled drainage of aqueous humor into the suprachoroidal space.

  • Follow-up included assessment of IOP, anterior chamber stability, and need for further treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Trabeculocyclostomy (TC) was successful in 83.3% (20/24) of eyes, requiring no additional treatment.
    • A mean follow-up period of 18 months was observed.
    • The anterior chamber reformed on postoperative day one in 19 eyes and remained stable.
    • Minimal complications were encountered during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Trabeculocyclostomy (TC) is a potentially valuable surgical procedure for primary open-angle glaucoma.
    • The technique shows promise for pseudophakic glaucoma, particularly in combined procedures with intraocular lens implantation.
    • Controlled aqueous drainage via TC facilitates IOP reduction with a favorable safety profile.
