Five-Year Results of Viscocanalostomy

Abstract

Viscocanalostomy appears to be a safe and effective intraocular pressure lowering procedure in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma and certain types of secondary open angle glaucoma.

Outcomes of Nd:YAG Goniopuncture After Viscocanalostomy/Phacoviscocanalostomy

“…IOP significantly reduced from a mean of 21.6 to 16.4 mm Hg after LGP. 11 Shaarawy et al 6 studied the outcomes of 57 nonrandomized eyes that underwent VC, with a mean followup of 64.1 months. In total, 37% (21 patients) required…”

Primary Phakic Deep Sclerectomy Augmented With Mitomycin C

“…[21][22][23][24][25] NPGS procedures can result in a significant reduction of IOP over extended periods of time with few complications. These reports confirm the need for LGP in maintaining long-term IOP control.…”

Meta analysis of non-penetrating trabecular surgery versus trabeculectomy for the treatment of open angle glaucoma

“…Some observational studies reported that non-penetrating trabecular surgery is more effective in lowering IOP [18][19][20][21] , but other prospective researches concluded that the two procedures were similar in terms of IOP-reducing effect [22][23][24] . This study, by conducting a Meta analysis on the IOP-lowering effect of two operations 10 months after operation and at the censoring time, showed that there were statistically significant differences in IOP-reducing effect at different time points after operation between non-penetrating trabecular surgery and traditional trabeculectomy, i.e., the non-penetrating surgery could achieve better IOP-lowering effect at various postoperative time points as compared with its penetrating procedure.…”
