PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the 12-month results of a modified 360-degree suture trabeculotomy (ST) technique in @entity1 with @entity9998 ( @entity9998 ). @entity1 AND METHODS: The modified 360-degree ST was performed on 20 eyes of 20 consecutive @entity1 with @entity9998 resistant to maximal topical treatment. In 8 @entity1 , ST was combined with phacoemulsification. The main outcome measures were the surgical success rate, the mean postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of antiglaucoma medications, and the operative complications. RESULTS: The baseline IOP (26.55  8.91) and medications (3.15  0.81) decreased significantly to 10.90  2.73 mm Hg and 0.30  0.80, respectively, at 12 months postoperatively (P<0.001). The magnitude of IOP reduction was 58.9%. Complete and qualified success rates were 68.4% and 94.7%, respectively. The entire circumference of Schlemm's canal was opened successfully in all cases. @entity5891 , perforation of the trabeculodesmetic window, posterior @entity5862 , peripheral anterior @entity5862 , and a transient elevation of the IOP were noted. The results are comparable to our 6-month results and other previously published results for circumferential trabeculotomy. CONCLUSIONS: The modified 360-degree ST provides a feasible choice in @entity1 with @entity9998 with a reasonable rate of complications. The 12-month success rates are promising. It can also be combined effectively with the current @entity231 surgery.
