Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy is a MIGS procedure that increases aqueous outflow by removing the trabecular meshwork and the inner wall of Schlemm’s canal. In moderate to advanced open-angle glaucoma, it has a reported success rate of 83.7 percent.1 One of the biggest benefits of GATT is that it’s a cost-effective option when using Prolene suture and other equipment that’s already in the OR.
