The main postoperative outcomes assessed included changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), the use of anti-glaucoma medications (AGMs), the occurrence of complications, and surgical success over a 5-year follow-up period. Absolute success was characterized by an intraocular pressure of \u226418 mmHg, without AGM, and a 30% reduction from baseline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average IOP and AGM reduced from 26.46 \u00b1 9.97 mmHg and 2.60 \u00b1 1.27 preoperatively to 13.02 \u00b1 2.01 mmHg and 1.16 \u00b1 1.28 five years after the procedure. The visual acuity improved from 0.89 \u00b1 0.58 to 0.34 \u00b1 0.6 two months after surgery. The absolute and qualified success rates were 50% and 96.55%, respectively, at the 5-year follow-up. Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis showed a 5-year survival rate of 89.46% (95% CI: 82.82\u201396.12%). A comparison between POAG and PACG showed 5-year survival probabilities of 73.8% and 94.4%, respectively. Although the number of secondary glaucoma eyes was small, they were retained to represent real-world clinical diversity; results are interpreted with caution. Complications observed included transient hyphema (94.5%), vitreous hemorrhage (1.8%), peripheral Descemet\u2019s detachment (2.7%), and blood behind the intraocular lens (1.8%). All complications except hyphema took place during the early phase of the study (2014\u20132015), and none resulted in vision loss at the 3-month follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both GATT and GATT+CS are safe and effective surgical treatments for different types of glaucoma.
