Description
Summary:To systematically review and Meta-analyze studies of managing open angle glaucoma (OAG) with gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety. Eligible studies were retrieved and screened from five main electronic databases. Mean difference (MD) was hired to show the pooled effectiveness of intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication decrease achieved by GATT. In addition, combined surgical success and reoperation rates were calculated, and complications were also summarized. Ten studies were included for systematic review, but one study was not pooled for Meta-analysis due to the repeated data. The combined IOP decrease after GATT was 9.81 mm Hg (95%CI: 7.98-11.63 mm Hg) which showed significant reduction from the baselines ( =10.52,
