IOP, number of IOP-lowering medications, visual acuity, mean defect of standard automated perimetry, and mean peripapillary RNFL thickness were retrospectively collected and followed up for 3 years after surgery. TE was performed in 104 eyes and DS in 183 eyes. Age, gender, laterality, IOP, number of medications, visual acuity, perimetry mean defect, and peripapillary RNFL thickness were equally distributed at baseline. Mean IOP decreased from 23.8 \u00b1 1.4 mmHg and 23.1 \u00b1 0.4 mmHg to 13.4 \u00b1 0.6 mmHg (p &lt; 0.001) and 15.4 \u00b1 0.7 mmHg (p = 0.001) in the TE and DS groups, respectively. Mean defect remained stable (TE: \u221211.5 \u00b1 0.9 dB to \u221212.0 \u00b1 1.1 (p = 0.090); DS: \u221210.5 \u00b1 0.9 dB to \u221211.0 \u00b1 1.0 dB (p = 0.302)), while mean peripapillary RNFL thickness showed further deterioration during follow-up (TE group: 64.4 \u00b1 2.1 \u03bcm to 59.7 \u00b1 3.5 \u03bcm (p &lt; 0.001); DS group: 64.9 \u00b1 1.9 \u03bcm to 58.4 \u00b1 2.1 \u03bcm (p &lt; 0.001)). Both TE and DS were comparably effective concerning postoperative reduction in IOP and medication. However, glaucoma disease further progressed during follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14010101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]],"date-time":"2024-01-02T06:04:09Z","timestamp":1704175449000},"page":"101","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Functional and Morphological Outcomes after Trabeculectomy and Deep Sclerectomy\u2014Results from a Monocentric Registry Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Valentin","family":"Pfeiffer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal Aurel","family":"Gubser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Shang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel-Benjamin","family":"Lincke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathanael Urs","family":"H\u00e4ner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin Sebastian","family":"Zinkernagel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan Darius","family":"Unterlauft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Hospital, Inselspital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 18, 3010 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1788","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(23)01289-8","article-title":"Glaucoma: Now and beyond","volume":"402","author":"Jayaram","year":"2023","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"The AGIS Investigators (2000).
