Getting Started With GATT: A glaucoma specialist shares pearls for patient selection and how to perform the suture technique.

The article discusses the glaucoma treatment known as GATT (gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy). GATT is a minimally invasive procedure that removes the trabecular meshwork and inner wall of Schlemm's canal to increase aqueous outflow. It has a reported success rate of 83.7% in moderate to advanced open-angle glaucoma. The article provides guidance on patient selection and describes the surgical technique for performing GATT using a suture. It also mentions the importance of visualizing the angle and suggests gaining experience with other angle-based surgeries before attempting GATT. The article concludes with information on postoperative care and potential complications. [Extracted from the article]
