Abstract
Ab interno trabeculotomy lowers the IOP less than TRAB, as the first reactivates the physiological aqueous outflow, while the second circumvents the conventional pathway, creating external subconjunctival filtration. However, at more than 1 year after surgery, the probability of reducing IOP ≥ 30% from baseline and ≤18 mmHg was comparable with both techniques. Following GATT, sparing the conjunctiva and sclera does not preclude or hamper a future filtration surgery should it become necessary, suggesting that GATT may precede TRAB in the surgical algorithm for patients with open-angle glaucoma.Ab interno trabeculotomy lowers the IOP less than TRAB, as the first reactivates the physiological aqueous outflow, while the second circumvents the conventional pathway, creating external subconjunctival filtration.
