Aurolab aqueous drainage implant in the vitreous cavity: Our modifications over the conventional technique of glaucoma implant surgery
Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are used for managing refractory glaucoma due to failed trabeculectomy, neovascular glaucoma, traumatic glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma post keratoplasty. Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) is a nonvalved drainage implant conventionally implanted with the tube...

| description | Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are used for managing refractory glaucoma due to failed trabeculectomy, neovascular glaucoma, traumatic glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma post keratoplasty. Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) is a nonvalved drainage implant conventionally implanted with the tube placed in the anterior chamber. Studies about the outcome of the various aqueous drainage devices implanted in the anterior chamber have reported complications such as tube extrusion, migration, blockage, erosion, and corneal decompensation. We propose modifying the conventional GDD implantation technique by placing the tube in the vitreous cavity, thereby negating the risk of anterior segment complications in patients with refractory glaucoma whose anterior segment is already compromised. Another novel approach implemented in this technique was making a scleral tunnel instead of using a scleral or corneal patch graft to cover the tube to prevent its migration. This article describes the surgical steps of this technique and its advantages, along with a surgical video. |
