Early outcomes of 21-gauge needle-guided ab interno tube sulcus placement of a non-valved implant in pseudophakic eyes

We report the early outcomes and describe an ab interno 21-G needle technique of sulcus placement of the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) tube in nine pseudophakic eyes. IOP reduced from a preoperative mean (SD) of 28.33 (9.80) to 11.56 (2.65) mm Hg and the mean (SD) number of preoperative me...

Sumario:We report the early outcomes and describe an ab interno 21-G needle technique of sulcus placement of the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) tube in nine pseudophakic eyes. IOP reduced from a preoperative mean (SD) of 28.33 (9.80) to 11.56 (2.65) mm Hg and the mean (SD) number of preoperative medications reduced from 3.0 (0.7) to 0.4 (0.9) at 3 months. There were no intraoperative complications noted. This technique of sulcus placement of the AADI tube is a precise technique of tube insertion. It may be an alternative to existing ab externo procedures of tube sulcus placement, limiting multiple blind entries.
