Abstract

Purpose To assess long-time results of primary surgical treatment in children with glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery. Methods A retrospective study of 37 eyes from 35 children with glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery, who underwent surgery between 2011 and 2021 at the Childhood Glaucoma Center, University Medical Center Mainz, Germany. Only children, who received a primary glaucoma surgery in our clinic within the given time (n = 25) and had at least one-year follow-up (n = 21), were included in the further analysis. The mean follow-up time was 40.4±35.1 months. The primary outcome was the mean reduction in IOP (in mmHg) from baseline to follow-up visits after the surgery, measured with Perkins tonometry. Results 8 patients (38%) were treated with probe trabeculotomy (probe TO), 6 (29%) with 360° catheter-assisted trabeculotomy (360° TO) and 7 (33%) with cyclodestructive procedures. IOP was significantly reduced after probe TO and 360° TO after 2 years, from 26.9 mmHg to 17.4 mmHg (p<0.01) and 25.2 mmHg to 14.1 mmHg (p<0.02), respectively. There was no significant IOP reduction after cyclodestructive procedures after 2 years. Both, probe TO and 360° TO led descriptively to eye drops reduction after 2 years, from 2.0 to 0.7 and 3.2 to 1.1. The reduction was not significant. Conclusions In glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery, both trabeculotomy techniques, lead to good reduction of IOP after 2 years. There is a need for a prospective study with comparison to the use of glaucoma drainage implants.
