Summary: This study compared the outcomes of Ologen augmentation of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation (AVG) and AGV implantation alone in children with uncontrolled glaucoma. The results showed that Ologen augmentation provided a clear advantage in terms of intraocular pressure control.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of trabeculectomy and Ahmed valve implantation in patients with uveitic glaucoma. The overall success rates and intraocular pressure control were similar between the two procedures, but the trabeculectomy group required fewer antiglaucoma medications. Additionally, careful monitoring of corneal endothelial cell density should be done after Ahmed valve implantation.

Summary: This study evaluated the surgical success after trabeculotomy for primary congenital glaucoma in Denmark over the last 40 years. The findings showed that some children may require multiple surgeries to control intraocular pressure.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the outcomes of microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy (MAT) in childhood glaucoma, including primary congenital glaucoma (PCG), juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG), and secondary childhood glaucoma (SCG), after failed glaucoma surgeries. The results showed that MAT effectively reduced intraocular pressure and the need for glaucoma medications in all three glaucoma subgroups, with high success rates and no severe complications.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes between GATT and TRAB in patients with advanced-stage PEXG. The study found no significant difference in IOP reduction, AGM use, and complications between the two groups. However, the cumulative surgical success was significantly higher after TRAB than GATT for IOP < 12mmHg.

Summary: This study evaluated the 36-month efficacy and safety outcomes of the PRESERFLO Microshunt implant in treating refractory uveitic glaucoma. The results showed favorable outcomes in terms of surgical success rate, intraocular pressure reduction, and visual acuity improvement. No sight-threatening complications were reported during the study.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of primary Ahmed valve implantation (AVI) and primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with pseudophakic exfoliative glaucoma (XFG). The results showed that AVI had a significantly higher success rate than trabeculectomy at one year.

Summary: Glaucoma remains a frequent complication after cataract surgery in children. This review evaluates different management options for glaucoma following cataract surgery (GFCS) and proposes a clinical management strategy. Medical therapy is the first-line treatment, while surgical procedures such as angle surgery and glaucoma drainage device implantation may be considered. The literature suggests that glaucoma drainage device implantation provides the best long-term intraocular pressure control for childhood GFCS.

Summary: The study compared the visibility and surgeon posture between image-processing-assisted trabeculotomy using NGENUITY 3D visual system and conventional microsurgery. The findings suggest that NGENUITY 3D visual system provides better trabecular mesh work visibility and allows surgeons to operate without moving far from the operative eye.

Summary: The study found that trabeculotomy alone is as effective as combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy in treating primary congenital glaucoma patients. Trabeculotomy alone also requires fewer examinations under anesthesia in the postoperative period.
