AIM: To analyze the complication and clinical effect of non-penetrating trabecular surgery for primary open angle glaucoma in altiplano region. METHODS: Seventy-eight cases (130 eyes) with primary open angle glaucoma were divided into two groups, which 67 eyes in non-penetrating trabecular surgery group and 63 eyes in trabeculectomy group. The intraocular tension and complications in two groups were compared at six months after surgery. RESULTS: Six months after surgery, the average intraocular tensions of non-penetrating trabecular surgery group and trabeculectomy group were 18.0356 mmHg and 17.6711 mmHg, respectively. There was no significant difference between these two groups (P > 0.05). After non-penetrating trabecular surgery, 18 of 67 eyes were presented I and II shallow anterior chamber, no case appeared III shallow anterior chamber. However, 33 of 63 eyes with traditional trabeculectomy were presented I and II shallow anterior chamber, and 8 eyes appeared III shallow anterior chamber. CONCLUSION: The non-penetrating trabecular surgery has similar effect of lower the intraocular tension by comparing to traditional trabeculectomy, but it is safer and has fewer complications than traditional trabeculectomy. Therefore, the non-penetrating trabecular surgery has important clinical value in altiplano region. LA: Chinese
