Resiting Molteno implant tubes

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers. 1996 Sep;27(9):801-3.

Abstract

The authors describe a surgical technique for resiting Molteno implant tubes. The indications for this intervention are a blockage of the tube that cannot be resolved by other means; erosion of the scleral flap and conjunctiva by the tube; and pediatric cases in which enlargement of the eye causes retraction of the tube from the anterior chamber.
