    Summary

    This study compared glaucoma surgeries, finding a new technique comparable to the Scheie procedure for lowering eye pressure. The novel approach significantly reduced complications and cataract development, improving surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Glaucoma surgery aims to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).
    • The Scheie procedure is a traditional fistulizing intervention for glaucoma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term postoperative results of a modified glaucoma surgical technique.
    • To compare this technique with the established Scheie procedure regarding efficacy and safety.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 319 glaucoma surgeries performed between 1970-1975.
    • Evaluation of postoperative outcomes, including IOP reduction and complication rates, with a minimum 2-year follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique demonstrated comparable IOP-lowering effects to the Scheie procedure.
    • Significantly lower intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were observed.
    • A reduced tendency for cataract development was noted in the modified technique group.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified glaucoma surgical technique offers comparable IOP control to the Scheie procedure.
    • This technique presents an improved safety profile with fewer complications and less cataract formation.
    • The use of a scleral lamella and operating microscope may contribute to the enhanced outcomes.
