    Valve trabeculotomy effectively controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) in most glaucoma patients. This surgical technique demonstrated sustained IOP reduction in the majority of eyes studied.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a primary risk factor for glaucoma progression.
    • Novel surgical interventions are needed to improve IOP control and prevent vision loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the valve trabeculotomy surgical technique.
    • To assess long-term intraocular pressure control following valve trabeculotomy.
    • To report on the incidence of postoperative complications associated with this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Valve trabeculotomy was performed on 100 glaucomatous eyes from 82 patients.
    • Surgical technique involved preparing limboscleral flaps and excising the midscleral lamina.

  • Intraocular pressure was monitored postoperatively, with follow-up examinations at 3-4 weeks and 11-30 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Early postoperative IOP (≤21 mm Hg) was controlled in 96% of eyes by surgery alone.
    • Late postoperative IOP control (mean 18 months) was achieved in 84 eyes by surgery alone.
    • Common complications included hyphema, mild iridocyclitis, and choroidal detachment.

    Conclusions:

    • Valve trabeculotomy is a safe and effective surgical option for managing glaucoma.
    • The procedure offers significant and sustained intraocular pressure reduction.
    • Further research may explore optimizing the technique to minimize complications.
