Real-World Outcomes of Canaloplasty and Trabeculotomy Combined with Cataract Surgery in Eyes with All Stages of Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of sequential canaloplasty and trabeculotomy combined with cataract surgery in patients with mild, moderate, and advanced open-angle glaucoma. Patients and Methods: Case records of 171 consecutive patients (171 eyes) who had undergone cataract surgery followed by canaloplasty (≥180°) and trabeculotomy (≥90°) for mild, moderate, or advanced open-angle glaucoma (Shaffer grade ≥3) using the OMNI Surgical System (Sight Sciences, Inc., Menlo Park, CA) were analyzed retrospectively. Efficacy endpoints included change in mean IOP and number of medications from baseline to postoperative 12- and 24-months for the overall dataset and stratified by each stage of glaucoma. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of success (eyes that did not require secondary surgical interventions (SSI)) by postoperative 24 months was also performed. Results: Postoperatively, there was a statistically significant reduction in IOP (baseline of 17.2 mmHg on 1.3 medicines reduced to 14.3 on 0.8 medicines (12 months) and 14.0 on 0.9 medicines (24 months), p<0.001 for both time points). Eyes with advanced glaucoma (N=63) maintained significant IOP reduction (17.8 mmHg on 1.6 medicines at baseline reduced to 13.6 mmHg on 1.3 medicines (12 months) and 13.0 on 1.5 medicines (24 months), p<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a 93.0% survival probability for the avoidance of SSI at 2 years after surgery. Conclusion: Canaloplasty and trabeculotomy combined with cataract surgery provided effective IOP reduction for eyes with all stages of glaucoma at postoperative 12 and 24 months, and the procedure yielded a 93% survival rate for SSI avoidance at 2 years.
