This prospective case series evaluated the 12-month outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in children with glaucoma following cataract surgery (GFCS). Glaucoma following pediatric cataract surgery is a recognized postoperative complication that may require surgical management when medical therapy is insufficient. Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is a minimally invasive conjunctiva-sparing procedure designed to improve aqueous outflow through circumferential trabeculotomy. This prospective interventional case series will evaluate outcomes of GATT in eligible pediatric patients with glaucoma following cataract surgery treated at Cairo University Hospitals. Participants will undergo preoperative ophthalmic assessment, standardized surgical intervention, and scheduled postoperative follow-up visits. Outcomes to be assessed include intraocular pressure, use of glaucoma medications, and safety parameters during follow-up.
