The TrabEx device removed a small portion of TM with large leaflet tissue remnants in all treated areas. 360° suture trabeculotomy resulted in incision of the TM proximate to Schwalbe’s line with no excised tissue evident in all treated areas. Areas treated with the KDB Glide device resulted in nearly complete excision of TM without injury to surrounding tissues.Conclusion: The various methods used for performing goniotomy or trabeculotomy resulted in varying degrees of incision or excision of TM. Only the KDB Glide device resulted in reliable excision of TM with the other devices producing incision or variable excision of tissue. Clinical correlation is required to better understand the implications of the current findings when using these methods to lower intraocular pressure in eyes with glaucoma.Keywords: glaucoma, goniotomy, trabecular meshworkAmmar DASeibold LKKahook MYDove Medical Pressarticleglaucomagoniotomytrabecular meshworkOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3519-3525 (2020)
