Combined Phacoemulsification-Goniotomy in Primary Open-Angle and Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Comparative Study
This study evaluates whether combining cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) with incisional goniotomy effectively lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduces the need for glaucoma medications in patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma.
Conventional filtering surgeries, such as trabeculectomy, effectively reduce eye pressure but are often associated with bleb-related complications, hypotony, and intensive postoperative management. Goniotomy is an angle-based, conjunctival-sparing procedure that enhances natural aqueous outflow by incising the trabecular meshwork. When performed alongside phacoemulsification, cataract removal deepens the anterior chamber while goniotomy addresses outflow resistance without disrupting conjunctival tissue.
The main goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety profile of combined phacoemulsification and goniotomy between two distinct glaucoma phenotypes: primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
Participants will:
- Undergo standard clear corneal phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation combined with nasal incisional goniotomy under direct gonioscopic visualization.
- Complete postoperative follow-up examinations at Day 1, Week 1, and Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12.
- Be monitored for changes in intraocular pressure, total number of glaucoma medications required, visual acuity, and postoperative complications for a minimum duration of 6 months.

Eksperimentel: POAG Group (Phaco-Goniotomy)
Patients with uncontrolled or progressive primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and coexisting cataract undergoing clear corneal phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation combined with ab-interno nasal incisional goniotomy (120°-140°) using a 20G MVR blade or 27G needle under direct Swan-Jacob goniolens visualization.
|
Standard temporal clear corneal phacoemulsification (2.2-2.4 mm incision) with foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation into the capsular bag under local anesthesia.
Following IOL placement and anterior chamber reformation with cohesive viscoelastic, the patient's head is rotated 35°-40° and the surgical microscope tilted 30°-40°.
Under direct visualization using a Swan-Jacob goniolens, an ab-interno nasal incisional goniotomy spanning approximately 120°-140° of the trabecular meshwork is performed through the main corneal incision using a 20G MVR blade or 27G needle tip.
Viscoelastic is then completely aspirated, wound integrity is confirmed, and intracameral antibiotic may be administered.
