Trabeculectomy (Trabeculoplasty)

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."
09/01/2001 - "The postoperative IOP in these 11 eyes was 15.5 +/- 2.8 mm Hg. Trabeculotomy is very effective in lowering the IOP in patients with juvenile glaucoma. "
01/01/1976 - "It is concluded that, contrary to the situation in adult onset glaucoma, the strong proliferative tendency of juvenile tissue has a marked influence on the postoperative efficacy of the trabeculotomy."

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. "
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."
09/01/2005 - "Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction as therapy in several forms of open-angle glaucoma. "
01/01/2004 - "NPDS appears to be an effective and safe filtering procedure for lowering IOP and could be an alternative to trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma with the advantage of having fewer complications."
03/01/2009 - "This study suggests that diode laser trabeculoplasty is an effective and safe mode of treatment for eyes with open-angle glaucoma, and its outcome may be predicted earlier than previously thought."

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."
11/01/2002 - "Patients with a shallow anterior chamber and overfiltrating blebs following a recent trabeculectomy can be treated successfully with a combination of a long acting gas and a viscoelastic material."
09/01/2014 - "This technique is easier, safer, and may be more cost effective for repairing excessive bleb leakage after trabeculectomy than conventional management techniques."

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. "
04/01/2015 - "Although canaloplasty may not be as effective in reducing IOP, trabeculectomy can be associated with severe vision-threatening complications however, the combination of canaloplasty with cataract surgery achieves a higher IOP reduction than canaloplasty alone. "
01/01/2013 - "Both phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy are effective in reducing IOP in medically uncontrolled CACG eyes without cataract. "

07/01/2008 - "Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous patients and patients with ocular hypertension. "
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. "
06/01/2012 - "Trabeculectomy is an effective surgical procedure for the management of postgraft ocular hypertension in DSAEK patients, and DSAEK may have an advantage in terms of success of trabeculectomy surgery over PK."
09/01/2010 - "One patient had ocular hypertension and needed trabeculectomy, one had a pigment epithelium break but with good functional results. "
01/01/1995 - "[Treatment of ocular hypertension after trabeculectomy]."
