From a pool of 185 eyes, 67 eyes from 67 subjects were selected for each incision group using propensity score matching to align age, sex, glaucoma type, and preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). The study found that preoperative IOP, initially 18.6 mmHg in both groups, decreased to 13.2 mmHg in the nasal group and 12.8 mmHg in the bilateral group 12 months postoperatively, representing reductions of 29% and 31%, respectively. Similarly, medication scores decreased from 3.4 to 2.7 in the nasal group and from 3.1 to 2.5 in the bilateral group. Notably, the bilateral incision group exhibited a significantly higher hyphema red blood cell score compared to the nasal group (p &lt; 0.0001). Across the study period, other parameters such as IOP, medication score, visual acuity, anterior chamber flare, corneal endothelial cell density, visual field mean deviation, and the frequency of surgical complications other than hyphema were similar between the groups. The study concluded that TMH combined with cataract surgery is equally effective and safe regardless of incision width, although narrower incisions resulted in reduced early postoperative hyphema.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12237460","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]],"date-time":"2023-12-01T08:36:59Z","timestamp":1701419819000},"page":"7460","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Comparison of Phaco-Tanito Microhook Trabeculotomy between Propensity-Score-Matched 120-Degree and 240-Degree Incision Groups"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kazunobu","family":"Sugihara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya 89-1, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayaka","family":"Shimada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya 89-1, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sho","family":"Ichioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya 89-1, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5548-322X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akiko","family":"Harano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya 89-1, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6512-7203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masaki","family":"Tanito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Enya 89-1, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1264","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)62347-3","article-title":"Glaucoma treatment: By the highest level of evidence","volume":"385","author":"Heijl","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1737","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2015.06.022","article-title":"MIGS and the FDA: What\u2019s in a Name?","volume":"122","author":"Ahmed","year":"2015","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e354","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.13288","article-title":"Short-term results of microhook ab interno trabeculotomy, a novel minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in Japanese eyes: Initial case series","volume":"95","author":"Tanito","year":"2017","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1233","DOI":"10.3109\/02713688909013902","article-title":"Outflow resistance of enucleated human eyes at two different perfusion pressures and different extents of trabeculotomy","volume":"8","author":"Rosenquist","year":"1989","journal-title":"Curr.
