Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) accounted for 71.00% (9247/13092) of cases. Patients were predominantly aged 40-64 (43.56%) and 65+ (41.12%), with 56.60% female and 43.40% male. Internal filtration surgeries dropped between 2013-2015 but rose from 2.95% (26/880) in 2015 to 7.87% (193/2451) in 2023. External filtration surgeries declined from 82.47% (607/736) to 26.56% (651/2451). Phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis (Phaco+GSL) increased from 7.61% (56/736) to 65.36% (1602/2451), while cyclodestruction procedures remained stable (0.54% to 0.20%). In congenital glaucoma (CG), ab interno trabeculotomy rose to 52.74% (77/146) by 2023. External filtration for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) decreased from 98.54% (135/137) to 74.82% (312/417), while Phaco+GSL for PACG increased from 11.43% (56/490) to 84.36% (1591/1886). Among glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs), Ahmed Glaucoma Valve usage declined from 94.25% (246/261) to 61.66% (193/313), while the Ex-Press device was phased out, and XEN Gel Stent (MIGS) usage rose to 38.34% (120/313).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Glaucoma surgical management at the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University has evolved significantly over the past decade, with a notable shift towards minimally invasive procedures and personalized treatment strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":19607,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
