[Lateral tube repositioning following a Baerveldt glaucoma implant. An alternative surgical procedure in the case of repeated conjunctival arrosion].

Conjunctival arrosion of the silicone tube following glaucoma implant surgery is a postoperative complication that generally requires surgical revision by means of a sclera or dura patch with mobilization of adjacent conjunctiva. We present a case of repeated conjunctival arrosion following Baerveldt implant surgery, in which successful revision was achieved over the course of a year by changing the insertion site of the silicone tube into the anterior chamber without touching the plate of the glaucoma implant. However, a long enough silicone tube is absolutely essential if this strategy is to work.
