    Filtration surgery, including thermal sclerostomies and trabeculectomies, successfully controlled intraocular pressure in 52% of childhood glaucoma cases. This surgical approach is valuable when goniotomy is ineffective or has a low success rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Childhood glaucoma presents unique treatment challenges.
    • Goniotomy is a primary surgical intervention, but may fail in certain cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of filtration surgery for childhood glaucoma.
    • To assess the outcomes of thermal sclerostomies and trabeculectomies in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 38 eyes from 24 patients undergoing filtration surgery.
    • Procedures included thermal sclerostomies and trabeculectomies.
    • Average follow-up duration was 4 years and 2 months.

    Main Results:

    • Successful intraocular pressure control was achieved in 20 eyes (52%).

  • Filtration surgery demonstrated utility in managing complex childhood glaucoma cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Filtration surgery is a viable treatment option for childhood glaucoma.
    • It is particularly useful when goniotomy has failed or is predicted to have a low success rate.
