Releasable sutures yield no advantage in primary congenital glaucoma surgery
Releasable sutures in combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy surgery for primary congenital glaucoma offered no advantages over conventional sutures, according to a study.In the prospective study, the two suture types were compared in 39 eyes of 39 children with primary congenital glaucoma treated with combined trabeculotomy-trabeculotomy with mitomycin C and scleral flap closure. An IOP less than 16 mm Hg without hypotony-related complications and/or no IOP-related progression at 24-month follow-up was considered a success.
