2444: scleral tunnel for sulcus seton tube

CataractCoach.com is more than just cataract surgery, it is also glaucoma, cornea, and refractive surgery and we are expanding our library to spread knowledge across the globe. If you check out the CataractCoach.com website you will see that we have entire sections devoted to glaucoma, cornea, and more. You can even use the search engine to find all of the videos of Prof. Ramesh Ayyala who is teaching us with this video. This case shows how to create a scleral tunnel to protect the seton tube in an Ahmed valve FP-7 which is being implanted. When I was teaching residents as Chief of Ophthalmology at Olive View UCLA Medical Center and clinical Professor at the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute, I taught almost 200 residents how to perform glaucoma surgeries including the Ahmed Valve FP-7 like this. And then once you get encapsulation of the device and a rise in IOP in the post-op period, this is how to solve that issue in the clinic.
