Resumen
FUMERO GONZALEZ, Francisco Y. et al. Results one year after modified gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy as a minimally invasive alternative for glaucoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.4 Epub 08-Feb-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.
Objective:
Describe results one year after modified gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy.
Methods:
An analytical study was conducted of 30 eyes, 15 of which (15 patients) underwent modified gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy (GATTm) (case group), and 15 trabeculotomy with mitomycin C (TBT) (historical control).
Results:
Male patients prevailed. Mean age was 64.2 ± 7.3 years for the TBT group and 69.9 ± 4.8 years for the GATTm group. In the TBT group mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity was lower (95 VAR/100-80 vs. 97VAR/100-90), whereas mean intraocular pressure was 26.0 mmHg/24.5-30.0 and 25.0 mmHg/22.5-27.0, respectively. All TBT patients received 3 hypotensive collyriums preoperative, while 53.3% of the GATTm patients required 3 hypotensive collyriums. At one year, mean best corrected visual acuity was lower in the TBT group (90VAR/100-75) and remained the same in the GATTm group (97VAR/100-90). A significant mean intraocular pressure reduction was observed in both groups and more than 85% of the cases required either one or no collyrium for their control.
Conclusions:
Visual result, hypotensive effect and surgical complications at one year are evidence that modified gonioscopy-assisted trabeculotomy is a safe, useful technique. Long-term studies are required to evaluate its future effectiveness.
