Conjunctival erosion following a PRESERFLO® MicroShunt procedure

PURPOSE: We describe a case of conjunctival erosion following a PRESERFLO® MicroShunt procedure, and the subsequent revision surgery. OBSERVATIONS: Conjunctival erosion was noted overlying the MicroShunt implant at postoperative week 11, 8 weeks following a bleb needling procedure for bleb encapsula...

description PURPOSE: We describe a case of conjunctival erosion following a PRESERFLO® MicroShunt procedure, and the subsequent revision surgery. OBSERVATIONS: Conjunctival erosion was noted overlying the MicroShunt implant at postoperative week 11, 8 weeks following a bleb needling procedure for bleb encapsulation. A brisk leak was observed at the site of erosion. The patient underwent a subsequent revision procedure with repositioning of the MicroShunt implant and mitomycin C (MMC) application. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Conjunctival erosion may be a relatively rare but important complication following MicroShunt surgery and may arise from a variety of risk factors. Extra care should be taken during bleb needling in the context of MicroShunt, and needling should be directed posteriorly, beyond the distal tip of the MicroShunt.
