Mean pressure preoperatively for group A was 24.48 &plusmn; 4.92 mmHg and for group B was 22.99 &plusmn; 3.00. The mean number of antiglaucoma drugs received was 2.97 &plusmn; 0.69 and 2.56 &plusmn; 0.73 for groups A and B respectively. The RDS was performed where the deep scleral stroma is prepared in 2 parts, folded and inserted under the lateral sides of the sclerectomy, and the Schlemm&rsquo;s canal is opened prior to deep scleral stroma preparation. Cataract was extracted by phacoemulsification through the same scleral opening. The follow-up for group A was 22.23 &plusmn; 10.18 months and for group B, 25.36 &plusmn; 10.12 months. Results: Postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) &le; 21 mmHg was achieved for group A in 40.5% without antiglaucoma drugs and 94.6% with antiglaucoma drugs, and for group B in 66.3% and in 94.7% respectively. Mean IOP reduction was 7.02 &plusmn; 6.35 mmHg (28.67%, P &lt; 0.05) for group A and 5.26 &plusmn; 3.72 mmHg (25.06%, P &le; 0.05) for group B, while mean drug reduction was 1.97 &plusmn; 1.09 (P &lt; 0.01) and 2.14 &plusmn; 0.95 (P &le; 0.01) respectively. 5-Fluorouracil was used in 8 eyes of group A and in 5 eyes of group B.Conclusion: In the follow-up time during which the two groups were under study, the RDS was effective with a few complications, similar to the classic deep sclerectomy using implants or not, with the advantage, in our opinion, of a short learning curve.Keywords: modified deep sclerectomy, cataract George KitsosMiltiades AspiotisYannis Alamanoset alDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2010, Iss default, Pp 695-701 (2010)
