Microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy in the treatment of primary congenital glaucoma: Current perspectives
Microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy (MAT) heralds a promising shift in the surgical management of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). This structured review delves into MAT's significance in PCG treatment, emphasizing its efficacy, surgical technique, indications, and potential complications. MAT presents improved intraocular pressure control, even in complex cases of prior surgical failure, rendering it a valuable therapeutic avenue for preserving vision in pediatric patients with PCG.
