Description
YuQi Ren and co-authors run a pilot causal study of an added drainage cut in glaucoma surgery in a 2026 article. Chronic angle-closure glaucoma is treated with lens removal plus freeing of stuck drainage tissue, and some surgeons also open the drainage meshwork from inside. Records covered 102 eyes, 54 with the standard operation and 48 with the added cut.
Weighted methods that balance group differences favored the added cut, with two-year freedom from failure at 0.682 against 0.425 and a weighted hazard ratio of 0.475 in the adjusted comparison. Scan-informed models also tried to forecast which eyes gain most. As a proof-of-concept pilot, the work supports a fuller trial rather than settling the question.
