Primary outcome measures included control of intraocular pressure after surgery. Secondary outcome measure included the frequency of intraoperative and postoperative complications.Results: Intraocular pressure was maintained between 6 and 21 mmHg throughout the study. There was no postoperative hypotony. There were no complications related to this modified technique.Conclusion: Needle tract at 5 mm from limbus maintains implant&rsquo;s ability to control intraocular pressure and eliminates the need for a donor scleral graft or heterologous material.Keywords: surgical technique, Ahmed implant, refractory glaucoma, donor scleral graft, tube shunt device Juan Carlos Mesa-Guti&eacute;rrezJuan Lillo-SopenaAnna Mon&eacute;s-Llivinaet alDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2010, Iss default, Pp 359-363 (2010)
