Trabeculectomy (Trabeculoplasty)

04/01/2023 - "The factors associated with the success and failure of GDD surgery, including the indications, are different from those for trabeculectomy and increasing experience and larger amounts of data have helped glaucoma surgeons to become more comfortable with selecting the most appropriate procedure for the individual patients. "
01/01/1991 - "Trabeculotomy gave the best results and can be considered as the most efficient operation in congenital glaucoma."
11/01/1989 - "Trabeculotomy gives the best results and is the most suitable intervention in congenital glaucoma."
12/01/1983 - "Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) seems to be highly effective in eyes with failed trabeculectomy while eyes with secondary glaucoma have a poor response."
08/01/2022 - "While many surgeons have predicted the demise of trabeculectomy amidst newer non-penetrating glaucoma surgeries, it is still the gold standard procedure for patients with an advanced or rapidly progressing disease and for those patients who need very low intraocular pressures. "

01/01/1986 - "This prospective clinical study comparing laser trabeculoplasty, medical therapy and surgery as the primary therapy for 168 patients with untreated chronic simple glaucoma, showed that the surgical group resulted in the lowest mean intraocular pressures, and was most effective in controlling the diurnal swing of intraocular pressures. "
10/01/2016 - "To determine the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of repeat 360° selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with open-angle glaucoma having undergone prior successful 360° SLT. "
12/01/1988 - "It appears that in cases of primary open angle glaucoma of this severity the risk of delaying operation are significantly greater than those of performing trabeculectomy as the primary treatment."
02/01/2016 - "The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in eyes with early and more advanced stages of open angle glaucoma within 1 year of follow-up. "
10/01/2016 - "Here, as an example, EBM was applied to determine which between trabeculectomy and Baerveldt implant surgery would be more effective in a patient with a history of open-angle glaucoma. "

05/01/2022 - "Cataract surgery combined with excimer laser trabeculotomy (phaco-ELT) leads to a significant reduction in intraocular pressure by enhancing trabecular outflow. "
01/01/2019 - "Combined goniotomy and cataract surgery showed a significantly greater reduction in IOP and number of medications compared to cataract surgery alone at 1 year after surgery, with similarly favourable safety profiles."
05/01/2015 - "Compared to trabeculectomy, clear lens extraction resulted in a significant reduction in synechial angle closure, and an increase in anterior chamber angle width and anterior chamber depth in PACG eyes without cataract."
01/01/2012 - "Compared to trabeculectomy, combined phacoemulsification and viscogoniosynechialysis resulted in a lower requirement for glaucomatous medications, a greater improvement in BCVA, and a higher cumulative probability that treatment would be successful among patients with PACG and coexisting cataracts."
12/01/2002 - "Combined trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification surgery is a useful treatment for glaucomatous patients with coexisting cataract, and provides good visual and ocular-pressure results. "

11/01/2017 - "Amnion enhanced the efficacy of MMC-modulated trabeculectomy in terms of eyes with complete success and lesser interventions such as bleb needling. "
12/01/2018 - "Bleb needling augmented with MMC can achieve a significant reduction in IOP in eyes with late trabeculectomy failure. "
01/01/2013 - "Fifty-eight of 85 eyes with successful trabeculectomy had significantly greater central and maximal area of the bleb (P<0.001) with decreased vascularity of the central (P=0.02) and peripheral part of the bleb (P=0.03). "
10/01/2008 - "Needle revision of filtering blebs is a useful adjunct to failed, failing, leaking, or dysesthetic trabeculectomy filters and can be performed in a variety of settings and techniques with fairly good results. "
07/01/2008 - "Thus, the slow release of POE/5-CU may be beneficial for the prevention of bleb closure in patients who undergo complicated trabeculectomy."

07/01/2008 - "Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous patients and patients with ocular hypertension. "
01/01/2022 - "Even though prior studies have reported that trabeculectomy does not address late-onset ocular hypertension, our study shows that the procedure might be helpful in early-onset ocular hypertension. "
04/01/2016 - "Twenty-six consecutive eyes with ocular hypertension after pars plana vitrectomy and SOI were included in this study and randomized to one of two groups: A group treated with Ex-PRESS (model P50) placed under a scleral flap (Ex-PRESS group), and a group treated with trabeculectomy (trabeculectomy group). "
04/01/2007 - "Using data collected retrospectively from a trabeculectomy study using 16 cynomolgous monkeys with experimental ocular hypertension, we evaluated both the threshold of elevated IOP required to cause clinically observable damage to the optic nerve head and also if lowering IOP below this threshold prevents further damage. "
03/01/2022 - "She had had a past history of ocular hypertension corneal decompensation after phacoemulsification that required a Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty and a subsequent trabeculectomy. "
