| Abstract | Background This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculectomy (GATT) surgery in patients with Fuchs’ uveitis syndrome (FUS) related glaucoma. Case presentation The clinical and surgical records of 4 FUS patients who underwent GATT surgery between 2021 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The preoperative process, clinical course under medical treatment, postoperative clinical course, intraocular pressures (IOP), glaucoma medication requirements, need for additional surgeries, visual outcomes, and surgical success results were evaluated for each patient GATT surgery was performed as the first intervention for glaucoma control in FUS patients under 50 years of age with IOP above 20 mm Hg despite multiple different medications. The average follow-up period after GATT surgery was 12 months. Despite reaching the maximum level of antiglaucomatous treatment in any of the patients, the target IOP was not achieved. On average, 6 months later, mitomycin-C trabeculectomy (MMC-trab) was performed as a conventional surgical option in three of the patients, and diode laser cyclophotocoagulation was applied to one patient with poor visual prognosis. Conclusions In FUS, which causes low-grade inflammation, has a low likelihood of synechial formation, and relatively affects a younger age group, GATT surgery, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) method, was considered a good alternative as an initial surgical option. However, it was observed that the surgical success was limited. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
