Impact of Peripheral Anterior Synechiae on the Outcome of Combined Phacoemulsification, Goniosynechialysis, and Goniotomy for Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma and Cataract: A Multicenter Observational Study.

PEI+GSL+GT has proven to be an effective treatment for PACG with cataracts over a 1 year period. However, the outcome was not correlated with the preoperative extent of PAS.

Outcome of Goniotomy Over 120, 240 and 360 Degrees in Juvenile Open Angle Glaucoma: A Multicenter Study.

240-degree and 360-degree GT showed similar efficacy in IOP reduction and were superior to 120-degree GT. More extensive GT may provide better outcomes in JOAG.

Peripheral Iridectomy With Goniosynechialysis and Goniotomy vs Trabeculectomy for Advanced PACG: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

In this randomized clinical trial among patients with advanced PACG without cataract, SPI + GSL + GT demonstrated noninferiority (4-mm Hg margin) to trabeculectomy for IOP at 12 months, with fewer interventions (including bleb massage, suture lysis, or releasable sutures) but no difference in postoperative medication use.

Safety and Efficacy of Goniotomy following Failed Surgery for Glaucoma.

GT seems to be a safe and effective procedure for patients with prior failed surgery for glaucoma.
