Hi Dr Diez, do not you use mitomycin c?

Thanks for your comment. I like very much Dr. Soosan Jacob´s Stab Glaucoma Surgery that technique inspired to simplified Ex-press Technique.

Great video Dr. Diez! When I watched videos of Dr. Soosan Jacob's stab glaucoma surgery technique, I wondered what would happen if an Ex-Press shunt were used instead of a trabecular punch (a 1st-World twist on a 3rd-World procedure) You've shown that it works really well. Thanks!
