Repair of Tube Erosion by Modifying the Tube Extender JOURNAL OF GLAUCOMA Liu, W. W., Werner, A., Chen, T. C. 2020; 29 (7): 604-606

Abstract

We describe here a case report of a novel technique for tube erosion repair, which modifies and utilizes the commercially available tube extender (Model TE). The modification of the tube extender makes the commercially available tube extender more compact and is useful in cases where conjunctival mobility and space are limited. This debulking of the tube extender may reduce the risk of future tube exposure and dellen formation.
