We developed a new technique to place a Baerveldt glaucoma implant tube through a long scleral tunnel. The outcomes were comparable to other reports of Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery, although the number of cases was limited in this study. A long scleral tunnel can substitute for a preserved scleral patch and self-scleral flap to avoid tube-related complications.

In select cases, repairing angle recession may be useful for preventing pupillary capture after IOL suturing and intrascleral fixation.
