Operative complications of goniotomy.

During 320 anesthesias, 401 goniotomies were performed and are here reviewed. Significant complications were cardiopulmonary arrest (1.8%) and postoperative hemorrhage (0.5%). Useful vision was lost in one case (0.2%). No complications could be attributed to operating on both eyes during the same anesthesia. The authors believe that both eyes should be operated on during the same anesthesia when bilateral goniotomy is indicated.
