Non-penetrating filtration surgery versus trabeculectomy for open angle glaucoma

CO2 laser‐assisted sclerectomy surgery compared with trabeculectomy in primary open‐angle glaucoma and exfoliative glaucoma. A 1‐year follow‐up

“…Among our subjects, five patients lost at least one line following CLASS, which was significantly less frequent than in the trabeculectomy group (8%, versus 29%, p < 0.05), and the mean BCVA change following CLASS was not statistically significant. The main advantages of the nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery compared with trabeculectomy, consistent with our findings, are lower rate of complications (Eldaly et al 2014) including lower inflammatory response (Chiou et al 1998), quicker and full visual recovery (Karlen et al 1999) and lack of significant changes in astigmatism (Corcostegui et al 2004;Egrilmez et al 2004). In our study, total rates of early complications and the incidence of choroidal detachment following CLASS were significantly lower compared to trabeculectomy (9.1% versus 29.2% and 1.5% versus 18.5%, respectively).…”

Baerveldt tube implantation following failed deep sclerectomy versus repeat deep sclerectomy

“…15,28 Glaucoma surgery is a known risk factor for cataract progression, except possibly in nonpenetrating surgery. 2,17 In the present report, visual acuity remained stable during the first year in both groups, however the reason for this may have differed between groups: DS may not have induced cataract formation, whereas most patients in the BGI group were pseudophakic at the time of surgery. A significant difference between groups was observed in baseline preoperative VA , which could indicate there was a selection bias between samples.…”

Canaloplasty versus Nonpenetrating Deep Sclerectomy: 2-Year Results and Quality of Life Assessment

“…Over the course of both procedures, the anterior chamber does not communicate directly with the scleral wound and the outflow is due to perlocation of the aqueous humor through trabeculo-Descemet membrane (TDM), among other outflow pathways. This fact supports the equal standing of deep sclerectomy and canaloplasty, especially regarding overfiltration risk and complications associated with it, such as hypotonic maculopathy, shallow anterior chamber, or choroidal effusion [ 7 ].…”
