Trabeculotomy compared to goniotomy for glaucoma in children.

D R Anderson

    Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Trabeculotomy ab externo and goniotomy are equally effective and safe for treating primary infantile glaucoma in infants under one year old. Trabeculotomy may be preferred when corneal clouding hinders direct visualization for goniotomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Primary infantile glaucoma presents a significant challenge in pediatric eye care.
    • Early surgical intervention is crucial for preserving vision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and safety of trabeculotomy ab externo and goniotomy.
    • To evaluate these procedures in previously unoperated cases of primary infantile glaucoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical comparison of trabeculotomy ab externo and goniotomy.
    • Focus on cases of primary infantile glaucoma diagnosed postnatally before one year of age.

    Main Results:

    • Both trabeculotomy ab externo and goniotomy demonstrate high success rates in primary infantile glaucoma.
    • Trabeculotomy offers an advantage in cases with corneal opacity, where goniotomy visualization is limited.
    • Technical execution may be more challenging with trabeculotomy compared to goniotomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Trabeculotomy ab externo and goniotomy are equivalent in effectiveness and safety for infantile glaucoma.
    • The choice of procedure may depend on corneal clarity and surgical feasibility.
