One-year evaluation finds no significant benefit of adding a microstent to canaloplasty in surgery.
Combining canaloplasty with a microstent did not yield statistically significant improvements in surgical success, IOP reduction, medication use, or safety outcomes at one year compared to standalone canaloplasty. This suggests that for patients undergoing CS with concurrent canaloplasty, the addition of a microstent may not confer substantial long-term clinical benefit. Small cohort size and differences in population between groups may also affect this outcome.
