Combined Trabeculotomy-Trabeculectomy as a First Surgical Procedure for Primary Congenital Glaucoma

摘要

Early surgical results (mean follow-up = 163 days) following combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy as a first surgical procedure for 20 consecutive cases in 14 children with primary congenital glaucoma were retrospectively examined. Mean pretreatment intraocular pressure was 25.55 ?9.58 mmHg, decreasing to 14.55 ?6.15 mmHg following treatment. Primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy was a useful initial procedure to control intraocular pressure in primary congenital glaucoma.
