Early outcomes of combined suture gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy and phacoemulsification in Indian eyes: A retrospective study

PURPOSE: To analyze early outcomes and safety profiles of combined phacoemulsification and suture gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (phaco-GATT) in Indian eyes with primary and secondary (pseudoexfoliative) glaucoma coexisting with cataract. METHODS: In this retrospective interventional analysis, 42 eyes with primary and secondary (pseudoexfoliative) glaucoma, all with coexisting cataract having follow-up of 6 months to 1 year, were included. Phacoemulsification with suture GATT was performed. Outcome measures included surgical success rate (complete and qualified), intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction post surgery, change in antiglaucoma medications (AGMs) post surgery, change in best corrected visual acuity, and surgical complications.
