Evaluating the Need for Surgical Intervention Following 360 Degree Trabeculotomy

Purpose: The goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate how long, on average, after a 360 trabeculotomy procedure secondary surgery needed for patients with congenital and glaucoma.
 Methods: IRB approval received from the Indiana University School Medicine access digital patient charts Riley Children’s Hospital’s department ophthalmology. Kruska-Wallis test utilized average number days between initial glaucoma surgery. chi-squared performed surgical success rates. Surgical failure defined by needing additional intervention or having more than two eye exams that demonstrated an intraocular pressure greater 21. A 5% significance level used each test.
 Results: rates trabeculectomies in were 64.70% 25%, respectively (p =.0002). values which 818.20 259.00 glaucoma, =.28). lowering drop following 311.83 51.56 =.06).
 Conclusion: rate single much higher glaucoma. This could be attributed anatomic variability, inflammatory processes, pathophysiological mechanisms contribute small cases presents limitation study. Although data is not statistically significant, still demonstrates significant achieve control degree trabeculotomy.
