Thanks for your comments Dr. Ajit. We now have mid term (more than two years) follow up which have been extremely encouraging . As with all surgical techniques, there is a learning curve and attention to minute details needs to be paid. Advantage of this procedure is its simplicity, repeatability, conjunctival preservation, posterior flow etc and of course the economic advantage as compared to many MIGS devices. The technique has also now been adopted successfully in multiple centres by many international colleagues in most continents. (dr_soosanj@hotmail.com)

Thanks Dr. Ahmed, either pre-op or intra-op MMC is enough, both are not required in the same case.

How brilliant madam! Do you put also 0.2 % MMC in the scleral tunnel in addition to 0.02 % MMC subconj? or it is not necessary in "subconj. is just enough"?
