PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of 120-, 240-, and 360-degree goniotomy (GT) with or without phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (PEI) for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). DESIGN: Multicenter, retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized interventional study. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with POAG who underwent GT with or without PEI were included, and divided into 6 groups: 1) standalone 120-degree GT (120GT); 2) standalone 240-degree GT (240GT); 3) standalone 360-degree GT (360GT); 4) PEI + 120GT; 5) PEI + 240GT; and 6) PEI + 360GT. Data on intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of ocular hypotensive medications, and complications were collected and compared. Success was defined as a postoperative IOP within the range of 6 to 18 mm Hg and a 20% reduction from baseline without further glaucoma surgery. Complete success and qualified success were defined as the above without and with ocular hypotensive medications, respectively. RESULTS: Three hundred eight eyes of 231 patients were included with a mean follow-up of 14.4 ± 8.6 months (6.0-48.0 months). There were no significant differences in the reductions in IOP and number of medications and cumulative survival probability for complete and qualified success rates among the 3 groups of standalone GT and PEI + GT. The 360GT group had the highest proportion of hyphema with or without PEI. CONCLUSIONS: 120GT, 240GT, and 360GT with or without PEI showed similar efficacy in reducing IOP and medications used in POAG. 360GT with or without PEI was more likely to cause hyphema compared with 120GT or 240GT. 120GT with or without PEI was sufficient for treating POAG with or without cataract..
